Map of USGS gauge 14310000 and the river around it
Where COW CREEK NEAR RIDDLE, OR sits, with 2 other gauges on the same river.
Under ODFW's 68°F line. Water 50°F now; the highest in the last 24 hours was 50.4°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 waterNormal for Nov 5: 82–259 ft³/s (middle half of 72 years of record). Now: 45.7 ft³/s, lowest for this date on record.
Lowest for this date on record for this date. 45.7 ft³/s is below the lowest daily mean recorded on this date of daily mean flow for Nov 5 at this gauge over 72 years of record (1955–2026): 10th 64, 25th 82, median 150, 75th 259, 90th 557 ft³/s.
Daily means on record for Nov 5: lowest 49 ft³/s, highest 2,430 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).
Falling over 24 hours: discharge down 11.3%, from 51.5 to 45.7 ft³/s. 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.

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 50°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.
