Rob and I head up from the BMX launch Sunday night at about 6:30. It's a fine calm sunny night on this coldest of many springs in Alberta. We still don't have many leaves on the trees, really. The river is pretty low, approx 35 m3/s but brownish from the Medicine and the Little Red. In 2.5 hours, we see zero rises; no other piscatorial action either. No skwalas yet. Sounds like things are pretty slow in the west country as well.
