Marble Creek is a freestone river in Idaho, listed as Featured sport-fishing water by Idaho Department of Fish and Game.
The nearest USGS gauge on the same stream system is shown, labelled; Idaho Department of Fish and Game lists 1 species. 1 shop nearby are listed here.
Marble Creek is a freestone river in Idaho. Idaho has 3 waters named Marble Creek in the USGS Geographic Names Information System; this page is the stream whose mouth is in Shoshone County, the one the agency list names.
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.

Seasons, limits, special regulations and closures for each reach are on the agency pages below. Read them before you go.
Each comes from the agency's own published list; where the list names a reach it is quoted. A designation applies to the listed reach, not necessarily the whole water. Listed in the finder under trout.
On the IDFG Recommended Fishing Waters (Idaho Fishing Planner) list (Idaho Department of Fish and Game, read 2026-11-05). All waters with this designation
Measured from the NHDPlus High Resolution (flowlines and waterbodies) (U.S. Geological Survey, read 2026-11-05) for this water’s own mapped feature. Rounded figures; they describe the channel, not today’s conditions.
Whole Marble Creek, not only this reach.
Areas the Protected Areas Database of the United States (PAD-US), public access (U.S. Geological Survey, Gap Analysis Project, read 2026-11-05) lists as owned or held in easement and open to the public, crossed by the mapped channel of the whole Marble Creek. Boundaries are mapped, not surveyed. Nothing on this page grants or implies access: check the agency map, posted signs and landowner permission before you fish.

A water page organises discovery. It does not assert public access, legal access, current fish presence, guide availability or fishing conditions.
Flows, gauge statistics and flood stages come from USGS and the National Weather Service when the page is shown. Regulations, stocking, species and season statements link to the agency that publishes them; this page copies only the species names and the quoted sentences. Guide and shop listings come from the Legendary directories. Position: a point on the mapped channel of “Marble Creek”, halfway along its length in Idaho, from the USGS high-resolution hydrography (NHDPlus HR), read 5 Nov 2026.

Normal for Nov 5: 390–875 ft³/s (middle half of 107 years of record). Now: 353 ft³/s, below normal.
Below normal for this date. 353 ft³/s is between the 10th and 25th percentiles of daily mean flow for Nov 5 at this gauge over 107 years of record (1912–2026): 10th 323, 25th 390, median 539, 75th 875, 90th 1,400 ft³/s.
Daily means on record for Nov 5: lowest 240 ft³/s, highest 8,060 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 (−0.8% 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.
