Rice Creek is a freestone river in Minnesota, listed as Designated trout water by Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (Division of Fish and Wildlife, Fisheries).
1 USGS gauge on the water reports flow. 2 guides and 3 shops nearby are listed here.
Rice Creek is a freestone river in Minnesota. Minnesota has 8 waters named Rice Creek in the USGS Geographic Names Information System; this page is the stream whose mouth is in Anoka 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.

Normal for Nov 5: 7.6–83 ft³/s (middle half of 16 years of record). Now: 27.9 ft³/s, normal.
Normal for this date. 27.9 ft³/s is between the 25th and 75th percentiles of daily mean flow for Nov 5 at this gauge over 16 years of record (2009–2024): 10th 4.3, 25th 7.6, median 38, 75th 83, 90th 165 ft³/s.
Daily means on record for Nov 5: lowest 3.5 ft³/s, highest 192 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 (−3.8% 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.
NWS observed 6.31 ft stage, 28 ft³/s at Nov 5, 4:00 PM CST (NWS gauge RCUM5; its stage datum can differ from the USGS gauge height).
NWS has not set flood categories for this gauge.

Federal guidance. Minnesota DNR publishes no water-temperature line for trout anglers that we found. The lines below are the National Park Service's, federal guidance, not a Minnesota rule, with Minnesota DNR's own figure added:
Under the federal 68°F line. Water 51.1°F now; the highest in the last 24 hours was 55.6°F. That is under the 68°F at which the National Park Service, at Grand Teton National Park, recommends anglers stop fishing in the afternoon (“cease fishing at 2 p.m. when water temperatures are likely to exceed 68°F”). Water warms through the afternoon, so check again later in the day: “Carry a pocket thermometer to monitor water temperature.”
High water temperatures prompt fishing advisory in Grand Teton National Park (29 July 2022) (National Park Service)This gauge is on our page for Rice Creek, but no agency page we read lists its species.
Cold water. Water 51.1°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.
