Water Advisory Removed for Southern AB.
Over the weekend the flood warnings have been lifted. That means the runoff has reached its peak and is slowly starting to come down.
The Oldman river that flows through Lethbridge is still quite high and muddy.
I made it out to the St. Mary's Thursday afternoon and found it high and muddy but not as muddy as on Monday. I gave it a try and through some line for about an hour. I was able to hook-up on 3 fish. I only landed one. It was a nice 20" male with beautiful spawning colors. You already know the rest of the story, “the biggest one got away.”
The mountain rivers clear up a good week before the prairie one so I would bet that they will still be a bit high and still have some color but will be fishable.
I will check mid week and see how the color is coming along.
