NW Upsalquitch pics

[ldmrt]

Here's some pics of the NW Upsalquitch we took in June 2010.




A narrow spot in the river. The middle section is the only place to canoe through because the other channel was blocked by uprooted trees.



Another view of this same spot, after we had scraped through and was waiting for the other canoe to come through.


Uprooted trees along the river.





Trees along the river bank.







The Forks, where the NW and SE branches of the Upsalquitch river meet.







Fiddlehead fern.



My footprints in the sand.



Rock photos.





My dog, Wilson.



More of the Forks.





Sand banks just above Big Bogan on the main branch of the Upsalquitch.


Rock ledges below Crooked Rapids.

The water looks low, Linda.

I love the gin-clear water, you can see down to the bottom even in the deepest pools.

Thanks,
Ken

It was low then and it is again right now. We haven't had any decent rain in a few weeks, so levels are down again.

Water looks very low for June . Did you notice how the SE branch has changed and comes in below the Forks now ? It won't be good for the Forks pool .

The Forks pool has filled in so much. Where I was standing where most of the photos were taken, it used to be atleast 20 feet of water. Now, there's only a thin strip in the middle where the water is 20 feet and then it is shallow again. That pool used to be filled with fish.

Don't worry, I bet the fish will find another pool, there's lots of them up there.

Looks like somebody's doing all the work in the video and somebody else is just along for the ride.

Love the one of the canoe just tied to the tree. Very pretty.
