Truckee River is a freestone river in California and Nevada.
Pick one of its USGS gauges and hear from us when the flow moves into or out of its usual range for the date, or crosses a flow you set. We check the public USGS reading every 2 hours and email only when it crosses, at most once every 6 hours. Flow alone is not a fishing forecast or a safety call.
Signed in: one step. Otherwise we email a confirmation link first. Every alert has one-click links to stop it.
Start from the agency's public access map. Nothing on this page grants or implies access: check the agency map, posted signs and landowner permission before you fish.

Normal for Nov 5: 50–216 ft³/s (middle half of 54 years of record). Now: 75.7 ft³/s, normal.
Normal for this date. 75.7 ft³/s is between the 25th and 75th percentiles of daily mean flow for Nov 5 at this gauge over 54 years of record (1946–2026): 10th 10, 25th 50, median 119, 75th 216, 90th 314 ft³/s.
Daily means on record for Nov 5: lowest 6.55 ft³/s, highest 376 ft³/s.

Steady over 24 hours (−2.3% 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.

Normal for Nov 5: 105–177 ft³/s (middle half of 10 years of record). Now: 161 ft³/s, normal.
Normal for this date. 161 ft³/s is between the 25th and 75th percentiles of daily mean flow for Nov 5 at this gauge over 10 years of record (2017–2026): 10th 92, 25th 105, median 142, 75th 177, 90th 242 ft³/s.
Daily means on record for Nov 5: lowest 91.6 ft³/s, highest 245 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 (−4.2% 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.
The National Weather Service has no flood-stage gauge here, so no official flood category is shown.
No current water-temperature reading at this gauge, so no temperature guidance is given. Take a stream thermometer: the trout lines CDFW uses are 67°F.
This gauge is on our page for Truckee River, but no agency page we read lists its species.
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)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.
Checked Nov 5, 3:18 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.
