What this means

At 7.06 ft, the Washita River near Hammon is below normal for mid-October.

The level has held steady over the past 24 hours. Without real rain upstream, that is unlikely to change quickly.

Key numbers

Highest on record: 23.44 ftMay 17, 1982

What the stage means on the water

Low water means more dragging on shallow riffles and slower floats. Fish crowd into the deeper runs, and warm, low water stresses them, so play and release them quickly.
