What this level means general guidance

Normal for Nov 5: 232–394 ft³/s (middle half of 32 years of record). Now: 343 ft³/s, normal.

Normal for this date. 343 ft³/s is between the 25th and 75th percentiles of daily mean flow for Nov 5 at this gauge over 32 years of record (1994–2026): 10th 36, 25th 232, median 347, 75th 394, 90th 449 ft³/s.

Daily means on record for Nov 5: lowest 6.1 ft³/s, highest 467 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 (+1.2% 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.

What this level means general guidance

Normal for Nov 5: 201–424 ft³/s (middle half of 102 years of record). Now: 371 ft³/s, normal.

Normal for this date. 371 ft³/s is between the 25th and 75th percentiles of daily mean flow for Nov 5 at this gauge over 102 years of record (1907–2026): 10th 63, 25th 201, median 326, 75th 424, 90th 518 ft³/s.

Daily means on record for Nov 5: lowest 31 ft³/s, highest 1,790 ft³/s.

Steady over 24 hours (−4.6% 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.

What this level means general guidance

Normal for Nov 5: 211–452 ft³/s (middle half of 12 years of record). Now: 382 ft³/s, normal.

Normal for this date. 382 ft³/s is between the 25th and 75th percentiles of daily mean flow for Nov 5 at this gauge over 12 years of record (2015–2026): 10th 47, 25th 211, median 377, 75th 452, 90th 494 ft³/s.

Daily means on record for Nov 5: lowest 29.2 ft³/s, highest 494 ft³/s.

Steady over 24 hours (−6.6% 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.

Conditions for fishing general guidance

No current water-temperature reading at this gauge, so no temperature guidance is given. Take a stream thermometer: the trout lines Nevada Department of Wildlife uses are 65°F.

What this level means general guidance

Normal for Nov 5: 199–374 ft³/s (middle half of 49 years of record). Now: 366 ft³/s, normal.

Normal for this date. 366 ft³/s is between the 25th and 75th percentiles of daily mean flow for Nov 5 at this gauge over 49 years of record (1978–2026): 10th 32, 25th 199, median 301, 75th 374, 90th 459 ft³/s.

Daily means on record for Nov 5: lowest 4.7 ft³/s, highest 1,800 ft³/s.

Steady over 24 hours (−7.6% 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.

Conditions for fishing general guidance

Water temperature for trout, salmon and steelhead

Not over NDOW's 65°F line. Water 49.3°F now; the highest in the last 24 hours was 49.5°F. That is not over the 65°F NDOW names for catch and release in summer (Truckee River guide). On warm days NDOW suggests “fishing early in the morning and late in the evenings when surface temperatures are down.”
Truckee River angler and fish survey information (2026) (Nevada Department of Wildlife) Cold Creek Reservoir (Nevada Department of Wildlife)

Species

This gauge is on our page for Truckee River, but no agency page we read lists its species.

Safety

Cold water. Water 49.3°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)

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.

Open the USGS gauge page

Checked Nov 5, 3:59 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.

Reading the gauges…

Check any river's flow

Follow Truckee River for flow alerts

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.

Follow this water

Signed in: one step. Otherwise we email a confirmation link first. Every alert has one-click links to stop it.

Where to fish

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.

What this level means general guidance

Normal for Nov 5: 201–424 ft³/s (middle half of 102 years of record). Now: 371 ft³/s, normal.

Daily means on record for Nov 5: lowest 31 ft³/s, highest 1,790 ft³/s.

Steady over 24 hours (−4.6% 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.

Conditions for fishing general guidance

No current water-temperature reading at this gauge, so no temperature guidance is given. Take a stream thermometer: the trout lines Nevada Department of Wildlife uses are 65°F.

Species

This gauge is on our page for Truckee River, but no agency page we read lists its species.

Safety

Below NWS action stage. The National Weather Service reports this gauge below its action stage. That is not a statement that wading is safe.
Flood categories: action stage, minor, moderate and major flooding (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.
