Water Levels Are Still Dropping
Posted 02 August 2011, 9:50 am NDT
Once again we continue to have constant temperature fluctuations. The temperature started the past couple of mornings has been about 6 Celsius, (42 F) and will climb until it is over 20 (68 F).
Although this does lower the water temperature, it is not helping with the water levels. The river has continually dropped for the past 2 weeks. The level is not almost a meter (over 3 ft.)
We have already had to start leaving some of our boats on the beach by Governors and walk over the trail to the Lodge.
With little or no precipitation in the forecast the river will continue to drop and incoming guests will not have as many pools to fish.
The seal has been spotted in the river again this morning, and this too will cause the fish to head further up river and seek shelter in the in the rock pile.
