Default Anything fishable up north?

assuming everything is swollen up north like it is down south. Looking to see if anyone has information on fishable rivers north of Sundre.

Cheers

Hate to deliver bad news but the raven has tripled in flow since Tuesday, and up 1 meter. The Red Deer hasn't been below 140 m3 this year and is back up over 200. The ram went from 6 m3 to 40!!!!!!!!

Lakes it is....

about what I expected. I was hoping stauffer wasnt blown but if raven is running that high I would imagine stauffer is nearly as bad.

Thanks for the info.

I'm thinking some of the smaller creeks with beaver dams might be settled out more behind the dams and fishable for brookies. I could be wrong too.

I agree. Looks like it’s a two week wait now. North ram is not fishable again and I was planning another trip tomorrow in that area. Might have to do more exploring and find some small creeks or ponds off the trunk road.

But no closures from warm water or forest fires.

Lots of rain everywhere. Might have to plan day-to-day and watch the stream report app and try to time a drop in flow and hope for the best.

Time to sit back and think about using a swather on the grass and selling it as round bales
