I've poked around the upper slough along Camp River Road in the early spring when the Fraser is low and, as I recall, the slough had a good flow to it. Yet back looking at Google Earth it appears that the entrance to the slough downstream of the Agassiz/Rosedale bridge is high and dry. It looks like the slough would only receive water from the Fraser during freshet.

Curious where the flow in the slough comes from?
