Default How's the water?

I would like to fish something not terribly muddy this weekend. Was thinkin best odds at finding some clear water would be fish creak or willow coming out of chain lakes. Anyone who is around that area before the weekend please help a brother out. What's it look like or if you happen to stubble across some other stream that is in ok shape after the rain it would be much appreciated and I will let you know how I go

Fish Creek down here by Millrise looks like a Tim Horton's Ice Cap. I'd imagine even the small streams will be pretty murky until at least the weekend...depends what's happening with snow melt.

willow creek advisories indicate increases of 3-4 metres are possible with the rainfall we are receiving.

Anybody been up high, lately? I'm planning on a bit of a trip this weekend, anyway...but wondering if anybody has been around some of the streams in K-country, and can report on general water conditions?

Sounds good...I'm going to go higher than that. Fish Creek down here still has 0 visibility.

Spring creeks or as mentioned down stream of lakes. I luckily found clear water last week.

Hikeing beaver dams and brush as far from wheeled access as my legs would take me. But not far from sundre. Leg work and map reading.
