Pool 4 Gauge – I found one!

Not nearly as good as River Gages.com but it will give use up to date info without having to send an email and waiting for it.

Maybe I’m missing something, BK but what’s wrong with this one?

Never mind. This one does not have flow.

Or water temp. But you are correct Francis, that’s the one I’ve been using for the last few years.

Good find Brian. Consider yourself lucky to have some data for the Red Wing area. Collection (or publication) of such data for the Alma dam has been discontinued altogether. Flow data is so important not only for fishing but quite simply, safety.

Thanks Brian. Winona is included on this.

I’ll check but I think Alma was included here.

The folks at the Corp have been made well aware of all the people that rely on this info for fishing AND safety.

They say there isn’t any funding to put something like River Gages.com back up. What the problem really is, there’s not enough people requesting data from the guy that we have to email.

Once enough of us take up too much of his day retrieving this info, he will complain and we’ll get a site that give us taylored info in moments instead of having to wait for someone to send it to us.

The above is a cumbersome site. We can do better. (maybe we should ask the Russians to build us on?)

I’ve edited the link above to reflect the gauge IN Red Wing that we’ve all used in the past.

The link I had was from the gauge just below Diamond Island.

Here it is again… Guage In Red Wing

Nope, no Alma/L&D #4 info.

I’ve sent a message in case I missed it.

Just click on map on top and find what location you are looking for.

Thanks,

While this link misses on the flow data, it is a great snapshot of what the river is doing, and planned to be doing. I have used this page for years and love it.

I miss the site where you could pull up current and historical data for everything,including gate settings.

Only way it’s coming back is to let them know you miss it!
