Hello,
I was down to the South river in Antigonish last Wednesday and the water was very low. However, I did manage 3 hookups but all were long distance releases. What I am wondering are the water levels for the Wallace and the Philip equally as low or do they retain their water better than the South?
Has anyone been to either river lately to see what water is there? I'm in Dartmouth and am just trying to save some time and money so if you have seen these rivers lately I would like to hear your opinion on whether they are fishable or not. Thank you for any and all help.

I saw some fish in the Wallace on Saturday but on Monday the water levels were incredibly low. I didn't fish but you would have had a hard time fishing. There was no flow to speak of.

river phillip has been extremely low. although they got quite a bit of rain last night I heard, so water may finally be coming up.

Thanks, guys, I appreciate the update. I was hoping they might hold the water a little better than the South. We sure could use a few days of nice steady rain, Otherwise October will be a bust and we won't get the rains until after the season is over. Thanks again for the info, it saves me a wasted trip and money.
