Title: Petite Nation 5 @ 7
Post by: Cindy D on April 15, 2013, 12:45:18 PM

I'll be running the Petite Nation After work tomorrow (Tuesday).  Leaving Ottawa around 4h00 PM, meeting at the take-out around 5h00 PM.

It was HUGE!  If you like big juicy stuff, the ?Petite? Nation is 45 minutes drive with the new Highway 50. The gauge is certainly broken, I'm pretty much sure that what we saw yesterday was not a friendly 65-70 level as Quebec Info-Debit said, more like 100. 

Sick!  :o

C'?tait d?ment Jean-Nic.  Le d?versoir au put-in ?tait presque compl?tement submerg?, m?me les planiols poussaient.  Ari avait juste un petit Star qu'elle n'avait jamais pagay?, elle s'est battu en cochon. Si tu y vas, soit vigilant, il y avait 3 gros troncs d'arbres dans le contre-courant apr?s le porte-feuille qui flottaient lousse, ils peuvent partir ? tout moment et aller se loger dans la passe entre la roche et la rive gauche.

So the level is close to 130 cms! Says 83 on QWW but they also added a warning.. since the gauge is at the lake far far above, all the water coming in from the fields and creeks add ALOT of volume to the river.. So in reality, multiply the  gauge number by 1.5.

Always scout for wood and catch as many eddies as you possibly can.  :)

im game this weekend although im sure ill be hitting up some creeks or some big water on the rouge...or both.

I've run the Petite Nation at 122 CM and
it was a monster.

Monster... mmm, pretty much my impression.  So 130.  That would explain a lot of things.
