Quinte Fishing

This evening my wife and I went for a drive around the Bay. Checked the Napanee Launch and 7:00 PM. The dock was about two inches above the water level and dry.
Came back through at 8:30 PM and the dock was under 6 inches of water. Hard to believe the level could change that much is such a short time without a strong wind.

The Napanee River has actually has its own tide!

The river is known to rise and lower regularly between six to sixteen inches due to the unusual winds which blow across Lake Ontario from mainly the southwest. When the wind pushes, it moves the water to the north shore, and then the water rushes back when the wind calms. The back and forth effect is called “seiche”. Mostly happens hourly.
