Crow Creek is a freestone river in Wyoming, listed as Designated trout water by Wyoming Game and Fish Department.
1 USGS gauge on the water reports flow; Wyoming Game and Fish Department lists 1 species.
Crow Creek is a freestone river in Wyoming. Wyoming has 10 waters named Crow Creek in the USGS Geographic Names Information System; this page is the stream whose mouth is in Lincoln 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.

Normal for Nov 5: 41–50 ft³/s (middle half of 20 years of record). Now: 41.8 ft³/s, normal.
Normal for this date. 41.8 ft³/s is between the 25th and 75th percentiles of daily mean flow for Nov 5 at this gauge over 20 years of record (1947–2026): 10th 38, 25th 41, median 44, 75th 50, 90th 54 ft³/s.
Daily means on record for Nov 5: lowest 24 ft³/s, highest 59.5 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 (−3.9% 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.
Below NWS action stage. The National Weather Service reports this gauge below its action stage. That is not a statement that wading is safe.
NWS observed 2.26 ft stage, 45 ft³/s at Nov 5, 12:45 PM MST (NWS gauge CCFW4; its stage datum can differ from the USGS gauge height).
