by the Ottawa River Regulating Committee.
As a result of significant rainfall over the northern part of the Ottawa River basin last week, levels all along the Ottawa River have increased to above normal values for this time of year. More heavy rain is forecast over the next two days, therefore water levels may continue to rise over the next week. Officials of the Ottawa River Regulating Committee would therefore like to alert residents along the river, particularly those that have wharfs, docks and boats, of the possibility of further increases in water level. The Committee would also like to remind boaters and water enthusiasts of the dangers of higher than normal flows for this time of year and to exercise caution on the river.
Heavy rain usually means dirty water...so I would say - use lures with lots of sound - anything with rattles should be the call for the day....good fishing

Oh are the levels ever high! I was doing some wading at my cottage and where the water is usually just at my ankles, it was up to my hips! It was a shocker at first but with our crazy weather I wasn't surprised.
I will be re-hitting the spots I pounded in the spring....the fish are still there....and now that the cover isn't to the surface...I can get back at em!
NOW I CAN PARK MY BOAT REALLY FAR ON SHORE
