The FFC link from Piper won't work until you register with them. You can access the reports after you are a board member at FFC.

Bow water levels are up 3x the low water level of spring and rising fast. Check here for flows:

It's a good idea to check this for one-day dam dumps also, since a dump takes about 24hrs to pass through (I see you're from Leduc) and it can disrupt fishing a bit.

Where on the Bow is relevant right now. Anything below the Highwood will be muddier than above. The Highwood is up 5x of low water level right now.

You can fish it at high water but this is not the best time of year.

Thanks for the updates. Still undecided if we're floating all the way to Mac or pulling out at Policemans tomorrow but fishings better than cutting grass!
