Reading Nov 5, 6:30 PM PST · provisional USGS data
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: KLAMATH RIVER AT KENO, OR (USGS 11509500, 1.8 miles away).
Water temperature, last 7 days: 169 readings from Oct 29, 7:30 PM PDT to Nov 5, 6:30 PM PST; ranging 45 to 48.2 °F; latest 45.3 °F.
USGS provisional data may be revised. Source: USGS instantaneous values.

Map of USGS gauge 420741121554001 and the river around it
Where KLAMATH RIVER ABV KENO DAM, AT KENO - BOTTOM sits, with 8 other gauges on the same river and our water's map point.
Under ODFW's 68°F line. Water 45.3°F now; the highest in the last 24 hours was 45.7°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 water (Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife)This gauge is on the same river as our page for Klamath River, but no agency page we read lists its species.
Cold water. Water 45.3°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 6.1 mg/L at Nov 5, 6:30 PM PST; 7-day range 5.8–6.8 mg/L
Below EPA's coldwater mean: 6.1 mg/L is under the 6.5 mg/L 30-day mean EPA sets for coldwater fish (other life stages), though above its 4 mg/L minimum. One reading is not a 30-day mean. Wyoming Game and Fish: “Higher water temperatures lead to lower oxygen levels.”
Quality Criteria for Water 1986 (“Gold Book”): dissolved oxygen, Table 1; pH (U.S. Environmental Protection Agency) Anglers encouraged to adjust fishing practices as temperatures rise (Wyoming Game and Fish Department)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, 7:22 PM PST; 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.
pH 7.4 at Nov 5, 6:30 PM PST; 7-day range 7.3–7.5
Within EPA's freshwater range: pH 7.4 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)Specific conductance 133 µS/cm at Nov 5, 6:30 PM PST; 7-day range 131–134 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.
