Map of USGS gauge 15274600 and the river around it
Where CAMPBELL C NR SPENARD AK sits and our water's map point.
No current water-temperature reading at this gauge, so no temperature guidance is given. Take a stream thermometer. 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: 68°F.
Species the agency lists for Campbell Creek: Arctic char/Dolly Varden, Coho salmon, Rainbow/steelhead trout.
Source: ADF&G Southcentral sport fishing regulations, Anchorage Bowl: water-specific salmon season or bag limit (Alaska Department of Fish and Game, Division of Sport Fish).
Normal for Nov 5: 42–80 ft³/s (middle half of 47 years of record). Now: 84.2 ft³/s, above normal.
Above normal for this date. 84.2 ft³/s is between the 75th and 90th percentiles of daily mean flow for Nov 5 at this gauge over 47 years of record (1967–2026): 10th 34, 25th 42, median 56, 75th 80, 90th 96 ft³/s.
Daily means on record for Nov 5: lowest 26 ft³/s, highest 140 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 (−5.7% 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.
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)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.
