jpinkster Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 The Province has instructed TransAlta to bring Ghost Lake back up to 1,188 metres by June 21: http://www.rockyviewweekly.com/article/20150622/RVW0801/306229998/province-instructs-transalta-to-fill-cochrane-s-ghost-lake What is this going to mean downstream? Flow levels are already low, I can't imagine what we will be at if they start filling Ghost. The fish are going to have a stressful summer this year as they get crammed into smaller runs fighting for the same food sources. The pike and bigger browns should have a field day. I'm hoping that by filling up this early in the year they can better regulate the flow throughout the summer, but I'm not going to put any money on that. Guess this puts a bit of the onus on the anglers this summer...get those fish in quickly and give them plenty of time to recover. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trailhead Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 That's old news, they starting filling up Ghost & Bearspaw last week, when the levels on the Bow went down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpinkster Posted June 23, 2015 Author Share Posted June 23, 2015 I guess I should have noticed that when I read the article suggesting they had to have it filled up by June 21....unless of course the Province has made a time machine...amazing what the NDP can do.
