Meppstas 4,962 Posted September 26, 2017 Report Share Posted September 26, 2017 Here's the site I use this on a regular basis here in Tasmania as it save me wasting my time driving 40 or 50 kms only to find the river isn't safe enough to hop in a wade.. Also after using this site for many years I now know when I can have a spin session in safe water level.. I check the Mersey, Leven, Sth Esk Rivers & Western Creek as they're the main Rivers I fish.. The Dasher & Minnow are close to home, besides there's no reading for them any way.. http://dpipwe.tas.gov.au/water/water-data/river-flow-plots-(sites-m-z)The chart below is from yesterday which is from Strathbridge (as it's the only reading I can get) which is in the lower reaches of the Meander River, but I still go by it as I have worked out by using this chart over the many years of fishing the Meander River when It's safe enough to fish.. As per the red line on the chart..cheersAdrian... This graph from yesterday shows just how much water is belting down the Meander River at the moment.. doobie and SaltyFlyer 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SaltyFlyer 298 Posted September 26, 2017 Report Share Posted September 26, 2017 Adrian, that is a HUGE difference in SAFE / UNSAFE ... Looks like it might be a while before it is safe to go back out 'wading' in your favourite rivers / creeks ... Going by the above chart ... is that 2.5 Giga Litres flowing ??? Is this due to the Snow run off, or just the huge amount of rains that you have been experiencing lately in Tassie ? SF doobie 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
doobie 5,802 Posted September 26, 2017 Report Share Posted September 26, 2017 Like Salty says, that's a huge difference. Good to have a chart like that to refer to as no point wasting petrol only to turn around again. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

SF It's Mega litres SF, and yes it's snow as well as rain on & off over the past week, and there's more to come over the next four days too.. That happened a few timed before I found the on line site doobie, made trips to rivers only to find they were running way too high to fish.. cheers Adrian Quote Link to post Share on other sites
