I would appreciate anyone reporting on the current water conditions in the Red Deer, James, Raven, Clearwater areas if you have the knowledge please?

Thanks in advance.

Was out there last Friday high but clearing. With all this rain the AB Rivers app is showing high and fast again. Not good.

Tried rdr, james, lrdr, raven, dogpound, fallin timber a couple days ago and all were high and fast. Managed to land one brown trout from the red deer. All fishable but dirty brown.

I was there yesterday and all the streams and rivers are unfortunately, still chocolate milk, water is fast and high....Fishing the running water was my goal.....

The lakes had guys in their tubes/pontoon, fishing...The lake water was reasonably clear where I was standing and this was confirmed in the middle as I asked a couple of guys when they came off..

Take both a spin and fly rod in case the conditions force you to adapt....lol

Did some casting from shore; still made it an enjoyable day.

The landing areas were all clear and clean....nice to see.

Good luck,
