forks

[WayneChristie]

Anyone planning on hitting the forks the next while better reconsider, got told by the RCMP Iwould likely get chased off by the MD pretty soon, been watching my shore marker get further and further out to sea. Rather hoping for a sturge surge pretty soon. Lots of crap starting to come down too. Looks like I will be sleeping at home tonight.:sign0176:

they opened the oldman dam today to releive a bunch of pressure. it is suppose to be higher then the 2600 cubic meters per minute that we had in 2005 by about 8 pm tonight

Oldman Dam is full & the gates are full open, releasing 1300 cubic meters/second.

Forecast is for 3800 cubic meters/second on the SSR in Medicine Hat by the weekend. Could go even higher if it keeps raining upstream. We are opening our Emergency Ops Center tomorrow morning at 09:00. Guess I know what my weekend holds !!

Be safe buddy........and save me at least 1 for next weekend!!!!!!!!

So what your saying is the ol Ssr is soon to be nice n high n dirty again eh....just the way I like her:)
Pray for no flooding:(
Stupid question: why do sturgeon not enter the old man or bow river a ways? Or do they?

I laugh at the people who say the cubic meters per min, 2600 per min isnt very much lol, Iv heard that a few times today and its a mis-understanding its not minute its seconds ;)

slow progression over the afternoon, tall rock was placed at the edge of the river after lunch, about 14 inches tall or so.

gave up on her tonight, going to drop the boat off in the Hat tomorrow then see how high the Oldman has gotten, should have flushed more sturge down to one of my favourite holes thats only good when its high and dirty
FF they run up both the Oldman and Bow when its high and dirty to spawn

[WayneChristie]

I wish, going to grab my trailer in the morning I think, the sturgeon like flooding, so I do too. high and dirty works for me. :bad_boys_20:
