Default Middle Red Deer River 2017

Anyone been out below Dickson Dam recently? Thinking of doing a short float this weekend. Water levels look below average based on government data.

Curious as to how it's been fishing, and how it's been floating if anyone has done so yet.

Cheers!

It is higher than normal for sure. I fished from shore on Sunday. Better for boats and floating right now with the higher water as evidenced by seeing a lot more boats than usual. The water is a little off but not bad.

Indeed. There were 10 I counted in the morning and the another 4-5 non jet boats. It was busy...that is why we packed up by noon. Morning was nice and quiet
