mvdaog Posted November 25, 2008 Share Posted November 25, 2008 That's nuts! I wonder how long it takes for the river to work it's way around/through that.... and I wonder if anything unnatural caused it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
annapolis Posted November 25, 2008 Share Posted November 25, 2008 I saw the extended version of the video and the river was flowing in less than 5 minutes, the water pressure was able to move the debris. Some geologist figured that if it didn't start when it did there would have been a huge destructive flood when the damn broke, go figure!

flyfishfairwx Posted November 25, 2008 Share Posted November 25, 2008 no i am pretty sure it was on the highwood too... look on the video page, it says it is Sultan river and it happened in 2004.......... There may have been a slide on the Highwood, but this is not the video of that... pay attention, to things for god sakes and things will be clear....

He is right the Livingstone and all southern Alberta rivers are now carp and perch rivers...... Stay in Calgary and toast each other with crack and Starbucks..........

esleech Posted November 25, 2008 Author Share Posted November 25, 2008 I talked to some of the head biologists in the area, river and all tribs: CLOSED till 2016! Just fish chain lakes, gold bead, red wire, you'll do fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Castuserraticus Posted November 25, 2008 Share Posted November 25, 2008 That's a baby slide. I remember in the 1970's a 1/2 mile wide chunk of the Peace River valley near Hudson Hope slid and dammed it up. The Peace carries 80% of the fresh water in Alberta. There were the predictable forecasts of a catastrophic burst flooding areas downstream - didn't happen. It took the river a couple of spring runoffs to clean out the channel. It was impressive to see. A lot of real estate moved in a few seconds. The slump was about 1/2 mile wide and took the valley wall back about 1/4 mile.

esleech Posted November 25, 2008 Author Share Posted November 25, 2008 Ohhhhh I get it, you big city boys are so smart............ No, it's just that the internet can be a place of misinformation, and the fact that the video says "sultan river" means nothing. Another perfect case of misinformation. It's the Highwood.

lethfisher Posted November 25, 2008 Share Posted November 25, 2008 I saw that vid on the Discovery Channel where they were doing a special on landslides. They broke it down and modeled the whole slide in 3D so you could see what happened when it slid. I saw that like a month ago on TV so it isn't a recent slide at all.

Another perfect case of misinformation. It's the Highwood. And since the Highwood is a trib of the Bow might as well not bother fishing it either. Never know what kind of ripple effect one of those slides might have. I'd just avoid any flowing water north of Carseland for the next few years to be on the safe side.
