Southern water levels

[dutchpirate]

I've been watching the water level reports from Alberta Environment but I'm curious as to the status of the launch at 40 mile. Anyone been there in the past week?

Thanks!

Yikes! Would like to see the pic if you still have access to it.

I've heard 40mile took advantage of the low water levels to build a new and longer launch. Water has risen since. But this is second hand information!

That would be good use of the situation!

Don't think its new or longer just repaired the existing one.

Not my pictures, but came across them the other day.

Almost looks like St Mary's. I would think the irrigation districts are starting to fill up the reservoirs before total shutting down the canals.

that is St. Narys. Only showing 4.1% cap. Wonder where all the fish go or if they even have a chance? Sad really. Wont be anymore water in there until runoff next spring I would think.

I am at 40 Mile right now. The crews are pulling the dock as I right this message, however, the boat launch is good to launch. About 2 ft lower than the high water mark, but definitely in good shape. The fishing here has been good.

Chin and Ridge Reservoir are locked at the campground now.
