Map of USGS gauge 14240525 and the river around it
Where NF TOUTLE RIVER BELOW SRS NEAR KID VALLEY, WA sits.
No current water-temperature reading at this gauge, so no temperature guidance is given. Take a stream thermometer. Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife publishes no water-temperature line for trout anglers that we found. The lines below are the National Park Service's, federal guidance, not a Washington rule: 68°F.
Species list not on file for this gauge. Check the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife: Washington trout stocking reports · Washington fishing regulations.
Normal for Nov 5: 389–890 ft³/s (middle half of 31 years of record). Now: 283 ft³/s, much below normal.
Much below normal for this date. 283 ft³/s is below the 10th percentile of daily mean flow for Nov 5 at this gauge over 31 years of record (1990–2026): 10th 330, 25th 389, median 561, 75th 890, 90th 1,140 ft³/s.
Daily means on record for Nov 5: lowest 200 ft³/s, highest 2,450 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 (+6.4% 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.
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)Turbidity 6.4 FNU at Nov 5, 6:00 PM PST; 7-day range 5.5–16.6 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.
