Default Jet boating on the athabasca around hinton

Hey fellas first time poster here. Recently bought a jet boat and wanna do some elk hunting on the Athabasca river around Hinton. Just wondering if anyone has had any luck doing this and knows what the average water levels are around mid sept?
Thanks fellas
happy hunting season!!!

Water levels are low, and I would expect them to be lower then normal unless we get a lot of rain. Buddy went down stream from Hinton 2 weeks ago and was picking up rocks in a lot of places.

Right now there are places a dry fly would have a hard time finding enough water to float. Might want to wait till next year.
