July 30 Fishing Report

July 30 - 2010
The region is in almost perfect condition, though water levels remain higher than normal. Lingering impacts on fishing are now down to the Ram in the mid to lower canyon reach where water levels continue to scour the sandstone, keeping visibility down and sediment loads up. Otherwise, most everything is in good to great shape! Perfectly timed for this long weekend!

N Ram is fishable - 4 - 5 foot vis and green-clear @ Nice Cr
S Ram - mid to lower canyon is a little high (watch the crossings) and visibility definitely poor. Much better upstream.
Upper Red Deer is in good shape - watch out for jet boats this weekend.
Blackstone is in good shape
Prairie, Red Deer tailwater, Little RDR, FallenTimber, Dogpound, etc are in good shape, though lower reaches may be impacted by the t-storms forming further out from the foothills recently.
Hatches - golden stones, pmds, brown drakes, tricos, caddis, midges, mid sized hoppers, yellow sallies, lime sallies, flavs, green drakes in high country.

The Hinton - Edson waters along the #16 corridor are all clear and low as of this morning.
