Default Little Red Deer River or Dogpound Creek updates?

Has anyone have any recent updates on the Little Red Deer River or the Dogpound Creek, regarding water level, clarity etc?
Thanks

Drove over the little red yesterday and it's flowing at a fishable rate. The water is still a tad dirty, but definitely fishable. Fished a different river in the system, saw a couple risers, but for the most part, fish were feeding subsurface. I wouldn't hesitate fishing it

It has been near a month since JR was nearby. Has anyone been up there recently?
How is it now?
Thanks,

Drove over both Friday night but fished a different creek. Conditions were money all around, and still should be as we haven't had any rain since.

Just be mindful of the warmer stream temps putting stress on the fish. Kicked up a few golden stones along the shoreline, get the orange stimmies out!

Drove over the Little Red west of Innisfail. Stained but I could easily make out the details

Levels are way down the last couple weeks. I'd think in the next couple weeks looking at the forecast the levels will keep going down and fish will begin to feel stressed. Hope for some rain and cooling weather.

I was driving over the Dogpound on Hwy 22; and as others have said, it is low and a bit murky from the recent rains.... They took about an inch of rain on Monday. It came down as as a nice steady rain, not like what we had in Calgary.

I did however fish the Little Red Deer and released 3 Browns back to the water. They were in the 12" size, with lots of attitude.
A lot of light reddish/brown very small moths flying around, grass hoppers and a lot of dragon flies as well.

The water is still very fast; somewhat high and the viability is about 12" +/-
