Current River Conditions in California Visit >>  URL : http://cdec.water.ca.gov/river/rivcond.html This link takes you directly to the State of California's river-flow database. It's a pretty impressive and extremely useful page -- not only can you find real-time flow data, but also water temperatures, information on scheduled reservoir releases, historical flow data, reservoir levels, and so on. (This is why we're not providing individual links to the rivers themselves -- you'd otherwise miss much of the site's utility for planning fishing trips.) Please note that you may have to make a click-thru or two to find the specific river you're interested in. Flows for the McCloud and Pit Rivers, for example, are reached using the "Sacramento River to Lake Shasta" button shown under the SACRAMENTO RIVER REGION heading. Eastern Sierra Stream Flows & Reservoir Levels Visit >>  URL : http://wsoweb.ladwp.com/Aqueduct/realtime/realtimeindex.htm This useful link provides real-time stream flow and reservoir storage data for Eastern Sierra waters managed by the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power. Federal Stream Flow Data Visit >>  URL : http://waterdata.usgs.gov/ca/nwis/current?type=flow&group_key=basin_cd&search_site_no_station_nm= With nearly 400 California streams listed, this site is an incredible resource for real-time and historical flow data. It somewhat duplicates the State of California (CDEC) site, but also presents a variety of rivers and creeks that have USGS rather than state-operated flow gauges. Finding a particular stream is a little tough, as listings tend to be clumped into large regional groups. But if you persevere, you'll likely locate what you're seeking.
