Damnation

Not sure if anyone has posted about this yet. This is an interesting documentary about the removal of dams and their impact on the salmon populations. It's on Netflix.

If they remove them in MO and Ark, it would remove alot of trout fishing and restore some premium smallmouth water.

I can only dream about the James and White River being restored to what they were in Jim Owen's day.

I think our best bet is a Delorean with a flux capacitor, but man I would love to see it like it was!

Me too! I wouldn't reverse it but if like to go back in time and see it and the way the locals used it.

I would think that a dam removed would cause the river to completely fill in with silt and gravel from the old bare lake bed.

I guess eventually it would flush out and grass and trees would start to grow but those stretches, or the ones below them wouldn't be anything special to spend time on for quite a while.

Interesting use to have fun fishing in the Sac and Osage before Stockton and Truman Dams.

If they took the White river dams out, then the river would be full of drunken partiers, jet boats and giggers and we'd all be on here complaining about them.

That is truth!

We talked about the removal of powersite dam in another forum. Removal of the other White River dams will for sure never happen during our lifetime.
