Hey guys I'm heading out tomorrow and wondering what the visibility is like in the GTA. I have been watching the hydrometric and it looks like the level has came down quite a bit. Any help would be appreciated

Those flow charts for the most part will tell you what you need to know!

How can you tell how clear the water is from the charts?

Experience reading them over time, ie: I fished there on feb 1st and flow was same, visibility was x on day in question. It is not an exact science, but if you fish the same bunch of rivers on a regular basis, you will eventually gain enough experience that you can predict what water clarity might be like. It's actually pretty straight forward.

basically, a spike in the flow would suggest chocolate milk, each site will show the average flow rate, if its higher or lower than normal

That's what I do for my local spots but didn't have a base line for the GTA tribs

Redrawing the graph for a date a while back may help you find a baseline

Thats a good idea. What I am tryin to do now is record the levels when I fish a different trib so I have a reference for where to go on a particular day. It works well for my usual spots. It can save a drive just to find out it is blown
