General guidance from the readings and the published lines named above, not a fishing forecast. Local rules and closures come first.
Reading Jul 13, 12:05 PM CDT · provisional USGS data
This is the latest value USGS returned and it is more than a day old. It is not today's reading.
No flow at this gauge. USGS does not publish discharge here, so there are no flow statistics either; it reports what is shown. Flow on the same river: BIG BLUE R NR MANHATTAN, KS (USGS 06887000, 1.7 miles away).

No current water-temperature reading at this gauge, so no temperature guidance is given. Take a stream thermometer. Kansas Department of Wildlife and Parks publishes no water-temperature line for trout anglers that we found. The lines below are the National Park Service's, federal guidance, not a Kansas rule: 68°F.

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 8.7 mg/L at Jul 13, 12:05 PM CDT; more than a day old
Enough oxygen for coldwater fish: 8.7 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 Jul 13, 12:05 PM CDT; more than a day old
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 35.6 FNU at Jul 13, 12:05 PM CDT; more than a day old
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 373 µS/cm at Jul 13, 12:05 PM CDT; more than a day old
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.
The National Weather Service has no flood-stage gauge here, so no official flood category is shown.
Checked Nov 5, 7:57 PM CST; readings refresh at most every 15 minutes and statistics daily. Provisional USGS data can be revised. Conditions change: re-check before you go. This is general guidance, not a fishing forecast, a safety guarantee or a statement about access.
