Map of USGS gauge 14210000 and the river around it
Where CLACKAMAS RIVER AT ESTACADA, OR sits, with 4 other gauges on the same river and our water's map point.
Normal for Nov 5: 1,110–2,480 ft³/s (middle half of 117 years of record). Now: 747 ft³/s, much below normal.
Much below normal for this date. 747 ft³/s is below the 10th percentile of daily mean flow for Nov 5 at this gauge over 117 years of record (1909–2025): 10th 816, 25th 1,110, median 1,640, 75th 2,480, 90th 4,610 ft³/s.
Daily means on record for Nov 5: lowest 385 ft³/s, highest 16,300 ft³/s.
Classes as USGS labels them (hyswap: flow categories (WDFN_stats schema) (U.S. Geological Survey) ); percentiles from the USGS daily statistics (U.S. Geological Survey) (approved daily means; the reading is provisional and instantaneous).
Steady over 24 hours (+1.9% discharge). Rising or falling means a change of more than 10% in discharge (or 0.2 ft of gauge height) over 24 hours; our rule of thumb, not a USGS class.
Under ODFW's 68°F line. Water 47.8°F now; the highest in the last 24 hours was 48.2°F. That is under the 68°F at which ODFW says trout, steelhead and salmon “start to feel stressed”. “Fish early in the morning when water temperatures are cooler and fish are more active.”
5 tips for fishing in hot water (Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife)Species the agency lists for Clackamas River: Chinook Salmon, Coho Salmon, Steelhead.
Source: Salmon and steelhead sport catch waterbodies (2025 expanded catch by month and waterbody code) (Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife).
Below NWS action stage. The National Weather Service reports this gauge below its action stage. That is not a statement that wading is safe.
Flood categories: action stage, minor, moderate and major flooding (National Weather Service)Cold water. Water 47.8°F. NWS: “Cold shock can be just as severe and dangerous from water temperatures of 50-60°F (10-15°C) as it is from water at 35°F (2°C).” “Always wear a life jacket in and around the water.”
Cold Water Hazards and Safety (National Weather Service)Turn Around Don't Drown. “A mere 6 inches of fast-moving flood water can knock over an adult.” No flow number makes a crossing safe; if in doubt, stay out.
Turn Around Don't Drown (National Weather Service)Dissolved oxygen 11.8 mg/L at Nov 5, 5:30 PM PST; 7-day range 11.5–12 mg/L
Enough oxygen for coldwater fish: 11.8 mg/L meets the 6.5 mg/L EPA sets for coldwater fish (other life stages; eggs and fry need a 8 mg/L minimum).
Quality Criteria for Water 1986 (“Gold Book”): dissolved oxygen, Table 1; pH (U.S. Environmental Protection Agency)pH 7.4 at Nov 5, 5:30 PM PST; 7-day range 7.3–7.5
Within EPA's freshwater range: pH 7.4 is within the 6.5–9 range EPA gives for freshwater aquatic life.
Quality Criteria for Water 1986 (“Gold Book”): dissolved oxygen, Table 1; pH (U.S. Environmental Protection Agency)Turbidity 0.4 FNU at Nov 5, 5:30 PM PST; 7-day range 0.3–1 FNU
Water clarity: Turbidity measures the relative clarity of water: higher means murkier. No agency publishes a fishing threshold for it; compare with this gauge's own recent readings.
Turbidity and Water (U.S. Geological Survey)Specific conductance 69 µS/cm at Nov 5, 5:30 PM PST; 7-day range 69–72 µS/cm
Dissolved ions: Specific conductance rises with the ions dissolved in the water. No fishing threshold is published for it; compare with this gauge's own recent readings.
Conductivity (Electrical Conductance) and Water (U.S. Geological Survey)Guidance from the readings above and the published thresholds named with each line; not a fishing forecast, a safety guarantee or a statement about access. Local rules and closures come first.
Below NWS action stage. The National Weather Service reports this gauge below its action stage. That is not a statement that wading is safe.
NWS observed 10.9 ft stage, 747 ft³/s at Nov 5, 6:45 PM PST (NWS gauge ESTO3; its stage datum can differ from the USGS gauge height).
NWS river forecast forecast issued Nov 5, 4:01 PM PST. Highest point: 11.6 ft, 1,340 ft³/s on Nov 14, 4:00 PM PST (Below NWS action stage).
