Readings come from USGS monitoring location 12484500, YAKIMA RIVER AT UMTANUM, WA, 1.4 miles from the center of Yakima River. It reports discharge and gage height. Values refresh every 30 minutes and are provisional until the agency reviews them. Gauge readings describe the river at that point; conditions upstream and downstream will differ.
The gauge is half the picture. The other half is what came out of the water: verified catches, the current record, and the anglers holding it.
