F_ast Posted August 11, 2010 Report Share Posted August 11, 2010 Hey guys, wondering if anyone who has visited the French this year can comment on the water levels compared to the last several years. I have heard its down close to 7ft, but looking for some verification. If it really is down 7ft, it must look like a whole new area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cynmar Posted August 11, 2010 Report Share Posted August 11, 2010 We stayed at Bryer Lodge the beginning of July, and the water was significantly down. I would say at least 5 feet. There were shoals out in the North Channel that I fished last year for small mouth that were under 4 ft of water and are now 1 ft under water or above the waterline. Careful when you are running as some of the new shoals aren't marked. By the way, during my week the fishing was TOUGH. Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stubbex1 Posted August 11, 2010 Report Share Posted August 11, 2010 i heard it was down half a metre. Hopefully its not down 7 feet! I'm heading up to moonlight bay on the north channel on sat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cosmos Posted August 11, 2010 Report Share Posted August 11, 2010 (edited) Hi, My friend came back yesterday from Wolsley Bay area. Water level is down again. Fishing was really bad. They got 2 pikes and 1 walley for 3 days of fishing. Edited August 11, 2010 by Cosmos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Clemens Posted August 11, 2010 Report Share Posted August 11, 2010 I heard from Rainbow Camp, where I'll be in September. At that time, they were down about 3 feet. Rainbow Camp is on the North Channel - just on the other side of Wolseley Bay. I'm scheduled to be at Wolseley Lodge on Sept. 4 Launching may be interesting there.

stubbex1 Posted August 11, 2010 Report Share Posted August 11, 2010 i also wonder if they mean 3 feet lower than last year or three feet lower than long term levels. Here's an interesting website i usually look at before i go up as water levels going up/down can really affect the bite. http://www.tpsgc-pwgsc.gc.ca/ontario/eaux-water/renseignement-information-eng.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
esoxcrazy Posted August 11, 2010 Report Share Posted August 11, 2010 levels are probably down 3 feet from precious years average and close to 5 feet from last year. the bite is really picking up as most of our guest are hitting walleye through the day in this heat. Some big pike boats yesterday as well in horseshoe bay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
