Default Red Deer river tolman bridge

Me and my Dad are heading down there this weekend wanted to know if the river is deep enough to run a 12 foot with a 9.9hp? Was down there a few years ago had pretty good luck from shore... But heard that there are some big eyes to the east of the bridge downstream aways.

We were dragging our canoe there last year in high water. I wouldn't try it.

I don't suggest it unless you have a river boat. I run that river a lot with my boat and trust me your prop won't last too long. Plus, I don't think you'll be able to get on plane going upstream with a 9.9.
