anyone know if water level is up enough to launch a boat June 5, 2018

St. Mary Reservoir, also known as Spring Coulee Lake, can be a great lake for walleye, even if they are not very large. Northern pike, burbot and lake whitefish are also caught here. The campgrounds have ample shore fishing. Keep in mind the regulations for both the reservoir and the St. Mary River when planning your target locations. LAKE ACCESS St. Mary Reservoir is located southwest of Lethbridge. Follow Hwy. 5 for 53 km to the village of Spring Coulee. Turn right onto Secondary Hwy. 505 and continue for seven km to the reservoir. St. Mary Reservoir Provincial Recreation Area has two locations near the dam — one on the north shore and the other on the south shore. Both have boat launches. Boaters should note that some access restrictions apply. The first recreation area, Lower St. Mary reservoir, is located along the St. Mary river immediately downstream of the dam and has 38 campsites. The second, Upper St. Mary Reservoir, is along the southern shore and has 16 sites. For campground maps or for more infornation, visit the Alberta Parks website at www.albertaparks.ca.

The Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) declared the Bow, Oldman, and Red Deer River watersheds and their tributaries "infected with whirling disease" in the last 10 months. What you need to know and what you can do to prevent it's spread here: http://ow.ly/xo1H30h9n17
