🌊🐟 Ever wonder who keeps an eye on our rivers? 🐟🌊

For everyone who lives, fishes, and loves the water around Grand Forks — there’s a powerful tool working behind the scenes: NOAA’s water.noaa.gov.

This site tracks river levels in real time, including the Red River and waterways all across the country. Whether you’re planning a fishing trip, watching spring melt, or keeping an eye on potential flooding, it’s an incredible resource.

💡 A little history:
After the devastating Red River Flood of 1997, monitoring river levels became more important than ever in our region. Since then, NOAA has expanded its river gauge network and forecasting tools to give communities earlier warnings and better data to stay safe and informed.

🎣 For our Cats Incredible Tournament anglers, this means smarter planning, safer conditions, and better fishing decisions. Knowing river levels and flow can make all the difference on tournament day!

👉 Check it out before you hit the water: https://water.noaa.gov/gauges/egfm5

Stay safe, stay informed, and we’ll see you on the river! 💪🐟
