fishfight Posted October 31, 2005 Report Share Posted October 31, 2005 Just wondering if the high wind of 25km or more causes the water at Niagara river to get murky/cloudy, Does it matter which direction the wind come from? Someone mentioned once on this site that conditon of water flowing from erie can affect the clarity of niagara water. Or the water only gets murky if it rains a lot? thanks for any feedback Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Brad_c Posted November 1, 2005 Report Share Posted November 1, 2005 I notice in the upper river after a rainfall the water is very cloudy... in the middle of summer when there is little rain, it can become very clear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest jeep Posted November 1, 2005 Report Share Posted November 1, 2005 South or southwest are the worse winds. Rain has little or no effect on the lower Niagara. The creek will flow mud out but that water flows tight along the shoreline into the creek. That water ends up below the powerhouses. So if you fish above them, rain will never play into clarity.

Guest Steelheader Posted November 1, 2005 Report Share Posted November 1, 2005 Yep, those winds coming from the west & south/west drive big waves into the northeast shores of Lake Erie and create all kinds of mud which gets sucked down the Niagara. Anytime you get those kinds of winds figure on the Niagara turning to pea soup within 12 to 24 hours. Last fall was brutal - I don't think we ever saw visibility better than 1 or 2 feet before January. I hope mother nature is kinder this fall.

Guest Steelheader Posted November 1, 2005 Report Share Posted November 1, 2005 Just checked water clarity at Queenston during lunch today. Still pretty good, hard to tell exactly since it was raining, but at least 2-3 feet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
