Just when I thought we'd broken the back of the heat wave ...
These take effect on Wednesday - tomorrow - 26 July as at 2:00 pm, for a minimum of 14 days. All streams in ES1, no angling from 2:00 pm til midnight.
ps Thanks to the folks at Iron Bow for the head's up on this.

Is Mac Kinnons launch open?
Yep. Still a bit of snow and ice along the banks, but the launch is clear.

Nope. You might need to carry a drivers license to prove your age and Alberta resident status, that’s it.

And, high alpine streams 150-200 km away are under angling restrictions, despite the fact that AEP has no water temperature data.
As I was wet wading a foothills stream today, I was wondering why hoot owl restrictions would apply to a stream that is flowing around 13C. But on reflection, I can agree with basin-wide restrictions: otherwise, our favourite small waters would get overrun by the Bow crowd looking for unrestricted afternoon/evening fishing opportunities.

This is Big Prairie Creek, just a tiny trib of the LDR, flowing under the road thru a small culvert.

Little Red Deer, around Hwy 579 bridge and Big Prairie bridge. Lots of lumber barrelling by!

Dog Pound from bridges at Horse Creek Trail and Rge Rd 35. Some log jams are getting moved around, and a fair number of dead snags were blowing down and onto the roads.

As for where to get aquaseal???
I’m pretty sure MEC.ca stocks it.

I literally stumbled upon something that was tough to look at. Just downstream from Shouldice athletic park No telling what killed this beauty, but we're in the time of year when a long fight and/or grip-and-grin can tip the catch-and-release odds against even a robust, mature trout like this. On the other hand, in one of Nature's ironies, flies were feasting on the trout's carcass.
Maybe it would be a useful service if anyone who is in the habit of collecting temperature data had a page - like this - to post water temps over the next few weeks.
On the Bow (the NW) yesterday (Aug 6): 17.5C @ 10:00; 19C @ 3:00. Today (Aug 7) 18C @ 4:00. Not too far from a fish/no-fish decision point, if we get back into a heatwave.
Jumping Pound, in the Sibbald area earlier this week was sitting at a comfortable 13C. (Interestingly, the temps in the low-flow side-channels was a couple degrees lower - maybe with a larger percentage of that flow running underground, it stays closer to groundwater temps than the main channel.)

Here's an interesting story about logging vs stream integrity conflicts.
