Some photo’s of the Flooded Thames River from this morning,Friday,March 12,2021

[Red Hering]

There is now a boating ban in effect on the Thames River starting today,so I took a drive after picking up a coffee,to see how flooded the thames river really was.Not that I was planning on fishing for walleye’s out of a boat on the Thames River,but I am planning on walleye fishing it again off a riverbank,before the walleye season closes after Monday,March 15,2021 in Zone 16,east of the Kiel Bridge in Chatham. Here is a photo of what the level of the thames river normally looks like at this spot, and here is a photo of the same spot in todays flooded condition. Some other photo’s of some flooded area’s,including a view from the Komoka Bridge looking upriver, and this photo from the Komoka Bridge looking downriver. Some more photo’s further downriver from the Komoka Bridge. On a more negative note,I couldn’t believe what I saw on the North-West part of the Komoka Bridge!! Someone actually dumped their garbage there!! What a Dreadful site!! Bring your garbage please to a place where it belongs!! Be Safe & Walleye’s ON!! to All!! during the last 3 days,(starting tomorrow),during the walleye season in Zone 16.

Hope that goes down over the weekend.

Whoever threw all that garbage there @Red Hering needs a 4 lb. lead sinker off the side of the head.

We can't do that in today's world WR , that is why this ^&$@ happens. Yesterday is gone to be sensible and responsible, this happens often now. If you can find the person I'll get the lead for you.

Yeah but when you're casting off a river bank sometimes accidents happen.

@jjr this morning,(Saturday,March 13/21),I enjoyed my coffee there again. Coffee always seems to taste better outdoors!! lol ️ and as expected,the thames river is dropping down quite nicely.Here is a photo of the waterline on a tree from yesterday,(starting to drop down a bit then), and the same tree from this morning.Quite a difference there on the waterline!! There is still quite a bit of debris floating down the river, but here’s hoping that things will clear up a bit on the river,to be able to enjoy the last few day’s left of the walleye season,& tight lines to All!!

Thanks & Your welcome @TMAN and I am glad that I could help. No fishing or updates from me today from the Thames River,but the thames river is dropping quickly everyday from what I have heard.

Thanks for posting Thames water levels Red Herring . P.S. ... I thought you would be sporting Roll up the rim coffee. LOL Actually McDonalds coffee is just as good. Safe safe out there. Huron.

 

[jrr]

I am going to head out on the Thames tomorrow no matter what -- last day, should be sunny. Then I might try the odd shoreline cast but likely not much until my boat goes into Port Dover in May.

 

[TMAN]

I'm hoping to do the same tomorrow. Levels appear to be dropping fairly quick. Just need to get my painting done today!!

Thanks @Huron & I only buy Tim Hortons coffee when they do have the “Roll up the Rim.” I occasionally need a “donut fix” if I win!! lol I am resting my casting arm for today,so that I am able to fish a half a dozen or so walleye spot’s that I know of tomorrow,on the last day of the Zone 16 walleye season.I will post some photo’s tomorrow of some walleye’s that I will hopefully catch.

Just did a drive-by of that whole area too, Red Fish, with hopes for tomorrow. Very few fishing, river still high and dirty. Maybe tomorrow, but I'm not optimistic.

Skip bottom and don't worry about the color. If they are there you'll find them.
