Smile Little Red condition update

Went out to some brown trout streams in ES2 yesterday and most of the smaller streams in Sundre area were nice and clear. No chocolate milk except for the Red Deer River seem murky.
Caught some nice browns, fishing was a bit slow but did see a group of BIG Browns (18" to 22") swim by my feet when I was wade a crossing the Little Red. doesn't look like a run off yet at all. They were taking big dry flies.
Cheers!

How bad was the red deer? Was planning on camping up that way this weekend and was debating whether we would focus on the river or just head to Eagle Lake. River was really low last time we were out.

I went to Eagle lake in May about ten years ago. Foolishly hiked all the way in with my waders on, only to find it still frozen. Beautiful walk though.

Yeah didn't think about that possibility. Most likely won't be going that far anyways now with the fire ban on!

I know a popular spot to put in on this river is on hwy 27 west of 22 but are there accessible spots more closer to Cremona? Figured I'd try and just drive west of hwy 22 on some of those township roads.
