Harps Posted July 12, 2007 Share Posted July 12, 2007 Water below the Dam... about 55cms Water at Fort Macleod... under 10cms Well below average. And fluctuating like crazy. Hard for trout to establish in flows like that. Sucks to deal with the heat and water well below what flows should be. Fish info for the river... Fisheries Management Objectives for Rivers within the S. Sask River Basin. . . . . . . . . And here is where the water is going Makes ya feel all warm and fuzzy knowing that the fish don't need the water. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lawrence Posted July 12, 2007 Share Posted July 12, 2007 That's brutal, why would they be holding out on the water like that? Dry summer?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rhuseby Posted July 13, 2007 Share Posted July 13, 2007 Sad but true guys, you've got to remember the reason the dam was built. Irrigation, and it's that season to grow Taber corn. Personally, I'd sooner have the wild rivrs and less corn but we got outshouted by the farmers on that one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harps Posted July 13, 2007 Author Share Posted July 13, 2007 The dam is letting out lots. Its disappearing at the LNID weir and points between Ft Macleod. Too much taking, not enough water. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
