Thank goodness. Rain and lots of it! Central Alberta was so dry. This sustained rain will help a lot. The rivers are now getting dangerously high with all this rain and run off starting to happen. The great news is the snow pack is way above average but that means run off maybe longer than usual. The colder weather and rain will definitely help lower water temperatures in the short term on our pot hole lakes.
I have been tying flies the last two days. The rain will not last but we certainly need it. From Rocky Mountain House to Stettler, it is dry. Bring on the rain. I hope it helps bring our water table up a bit as well!
