Cartier Slough is bone dry!

Sorry to get back to you so late. I just had a chance to check out Cartier Slough WMA this morning. I found more water in the big channels than there has been in the last few years. We do not have control of the water on the WMA. We do not have any water rights from the river to fill channels. I still don't know why it comes and goes like it does. When the river is higher, it subs up and fills some of the channels. It will be there one week and gone the next. I can't promise that the water there now will be there when waterfowl opens. Depends on the river level. Below are a couple pictures I took on the NE side this morning. Most of the larger outer channels have this much water. I took pictures of water in most of the channels, but the file would be too large to send. If you went in from Beaver Dick Park, you may have hit some of the inner channels that don't get much water. If you want to find some these channels, please contact me and I can show you around. Thanks, Paul Faulkner 390-0617
