Do you only fish one spot or take fish photo in one specific spot?

That's the sand box at Vedder Park's playground.

In case anyone is wondering, the river is unfishable. I could see clarity improving gradually if it dries up a bit though......

With a discharge of 488 m3/s at the crossing, this is a big event!  The biggest since 2011.  Not unprecedented though.  It's the 13th highest flow since 1970.  The floods in 2006 and 2003 were 1040 m3/s and 1140 m3/s- over twice the size of this one.

500 m3/s is generally considered to be a major gravel mobilizing event, so it is safe to say some of our favourite holes will look a bit different when the water comes down.

I was down at the canal yesterday. Never seen it so high, right up in the grass. A parade of old trees. stumps, burnt wood, newer trees, propane bottles, were streaming down the river a quite the rate of knots. Looked like all the campsites got cleaned out/flooded out.
 Will be interesting to see what is new when lower water reveals it.

the highest events are mostly produced by warm rain on snow pack. Fortunately we don't have much in the way of snow pack yet.

absolutely ralph the fraser will shake this off like nothing, The forecasted rise for the fraser during this event is not even half of what a high frashet is.

Its the small streams with local catch basins and small time of concentrations that will see flood levels.
