Title: Tide in Fraser River
Post by: crab on September 27, 2006, 09:58:59 PM

I`m just wondering, how is Fraser River affected by the tide all the way up to Mission?
Most of the other rivers I know of are tidal only at or near the mouth.

Some say there is tidal affect to Hope but I think that may be a bit far up the system. I know at Bowmans that is above the confluence with the Fraser on certain tides in low water conditions it will rise 3 to 4 feet. Many boats have drifted away as they were not anchored tied up properly.
