It's pics like that that make me wonder why they worry about atv crossings at creeks so much. The water shed damage in the foot hills is crazy. I've seen storms at nordegg level 5' deep creeks into 100' wide and 1/2" deep creeks in one days rain. The fish are taking a beating In that. Hopefully no homes are affected.
