Upper Thames River

70 plus mm of rain past 48 hrs. Water levels and flow up substantially. Water is a brown colour and visibility is practically 0. Seems to be a large settlement run off after the rain!

No measurable rain in the past 48 hrs. Temperatures have been above 30 the last seven days. Water level and flow are down. Water striders, clams, crawfish and minnows are very active.

20 mm of rain in the past 24 hrs. Water level is up marginally and flow has increased. Water visibility clear to .75m.

Gravel base is a nice mix of fine and course gravels to the clay layer. Current is slow for this water body. Visibility is excellent. Aquatic life is abundant and active. Shoreline is protected nicely with large river rock. Little to no rapids found with such low levels.
