Another "100 Year" Flood on the Red Deer River

Hi Everybody!

Our fellow Albertans to the south of us as well as Canmore, have their hands full with devastating destructive flooding. Many of our rivers are in flood and several are at epic proportions. The destruction has displaced so many Albertans. It has been heart wrenching to watch on the news. I hope that the rivers quickly recede. Talking about fly fishing on our rivers seem quite petty right now with all of the destruction. The Red Deer River in town is now flowing at 1300 m3/sec. That is a phenomenal volume of water. Low lying areas are flooding as the spillway above Red Deer releases incredible volumes of water. Stay safe and well away from our waters. 

This is third time I have seen the "100 Year" flood since 1995.
