Notes
The ice was present at the sample location but a safe access is found just upstream of the platform. Never approach the river if you have to go across ice on moving water. This is dangerous.
Ice on the water surface.
Odour: Hydrogen Sulfide (H2S).
There were a few fishermen on the river, wasnt able to find out what they were fishing for. They were able to cross and walk through the rapids with strength. Possibility catching Rainbow trout - but none were seen or seen caught. The ice was surrounding the river body. The flow through the islnad was slow and not moving but the water in the rapids was moving fiercly and turning over well, which would be expected in spring turnover as the freshet melts.
