Map of USGS gauge 15008000 and the river around it
Where SALMON R NR HYDER AK sits.
Federal guidance. Alaska Department of Fish and Game publishes no water-temperature line for trout anglers that we found. The lines below are the National Park Service's, federal guidance, not a Alaska rule:
Under the federal 68°F line. Water 35.4°F now; the highest in the last 24 hours was 35.4°F. That is under the 68°F at which the National Park Service, at Grand Teton National Park, recommends anglers stop fishing in the afternoon (“cease fishing at 2 p.m. when water temperatures are likely to exceed 68°F”). Water warms through the afternoon, so check again later in the day: “Carry a pocket thermometer to monitor water temperature.”
High water temperatures prompt fishing advisory in Grand Teton National Park (29 July 2022)Normal for Nov 5: 200–525 ft³/s (middle half of 26 years of record). Now: 918 ft³/s, much above normal.
Much above normal for this date. 918 ft³/s is above the 90th percentile of daily mean flow for Nov 5 at this gauge over 26 years of record (1964–2025): 10th 181, 25th 200, median 318, 75th 525, 90th 886 ft³/s.
Daily means on record for Nov 5: lowest 150 ft³/s, highest 1,100 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 (−3.7% 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.
Species list not on file for this gauge. Check the Alaska Department of Fish and Game: Alaska fish stocking search · Alaska fishing regulations.
Flow far above normal. Above the 90th percentile of daily mean flow for this date (USGS class “much above normal”), from 26 years of record. Expect higher, faster water than usual for the season.
hyswap: flow categories (WDFN_stats schema) (U.S. Geological Survey) Statistics documentation (percentiles of daily mean discharge) (U.S. Geological Survey)Cold water. Water 35.4°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 13.8 mg/L at Nov 5, 5:45 PM AKST; 7-day range 13.8–14.7 mg/L
Enough oxygen for coldwater fish: 13.8 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 7.7 at Nov 5, 5:45 PM AKST; 7-day range 7.6–7.7
Within EPA's freshwater range: pH 7.7 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 96.6 FNU at Nov 5, 5:45 PM AKST; 7-day range 87.4–239 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 107 µS/cm at Nov 5, 5:45 PM AKST; 7-day range 99–112 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.
NWS observed 17.5 ft stage, 918 ft³/s at Nov 5, 5:45 PM AKST (NWS gauge SLMA2; its stage datum can differ from the USGS gauge height).
NWS has not set flood categories for this gauge.
