Members Otis Roostertail Posted July 12, 2015 Members Posted July 12, 2015 A friend of mine, Ed Doiron, Jr, posted these photos of the current water level on the North Fork of the White River. The photos were taken from the bridge just below Dawt Mill...... Men and Fish are alike....They all get into trouble when they open their mouths....

Ham Posted July 13, 2015 Posted July 13, 2015 Its ugly, but the fish survive. Somehow. Every Saint has a past, every Sinner has a future. On Instagram @hamneedstofish
Ham Posted July 14, 2015 Posted July 14, 2015 What does this sort of thing do to the water temps? What are max water temps that trout can survive in? Every Saint has a past, every Sinner has a future. On Instagram @hamneedstofish
GloryDaze Posted July 14, 2015 Posted July 14, 2015 Sorry to hijack your thread, but those pics peaked my curiosity- Let's say hypothetically you were in a canoe not paying attention. Only to look up 200 yds before you got to that bridge. Water is too fast to stop your forward movent, so you know you would be headed straight for it. What would you do? I think I would bail out of the canoe, and try my best to go underwater and swim underneath it. But what if you had a lifejacket on? That most certainly would not be an option.

Gavin Posted July 14, 2015 Posted July 14, 2015 I'd paddle into an eddy on river left. MDC's Patrick Aceess is right there. Our bump the bridge and hop out on top. You won't go under unless you panic and flip.
Nighthawk Posted July 15, 2015 Posted July 15, 2015 I was down there yesterday and McKee bridge is washed out on the West side, something I have not seen in the 30 years I have been going down there. My son who guides on the river says it will be rebuilt by the rich people who live on the West side and rely on the bridge to get to West Plains.
Members Otis Roostertail Posted July 15, 2015 Author Members Posted July 15, 2015 With the current running, you would steer to the eddy and bank. You should never bail out under those conditions..... Men and Fish are alike....They all get into trouble when they open their mouths....
