Riverwhy Posted August 14, 2013 Posted August 14, 2013 I have heard the hole in the Dawt Dam is about 12 feet wide but I have not seen a recent picture. I am curious to see if the flow through the gap will allow fish to move upstream into the river and whether you could now float a canoe through the gap.

We shot the dam in kayaks today, big fun, and yes I think fish could move upstream, but they would need motivation, they would have to jump up a 4 foot waterfall.

Riverwhy Posted August 15, 2013 Posted August 15, 2013 It sounds like pretty good news for both types of river users. The trophy trout folks are fairly protected from those hungry stripers and the floaters have a chance for a little fun at the end of their ride. Thanks for the comments.
