Have you @Brian K. Shaffer?
Root Admin Phil Lilley Posted November 19, 2023 Root Admin Posted November 19, 2023 Beat me to the post... I've never seen it. It's a minimum flow rate they tested back in the 90's. They said at the time that this flow would be too hard on the turbine blades to maintain... but they've ran 35 mw alot since them which is pretty low flow. 5 mw is crazy. I fished the trophy area below Lookout yesterday and the flow seemed to be more than I would expect at 5 mw. snagged in outlet 3 1

Root Admin Phil Lilley Posted November 19, 2023 Root Admin Posted November 19, 2023 This is interesting too. Note the DO level on the 16th and beyond. It doesn't drop below 4 ppm. I asked Shane about it. He said TR couldn't have turned because it hasn't been cold enough and TR's surface temp is still in the low 60's. But he also admitted this reading is very strange. I noted also that our water is still pretty clear - hasn't silted up yet. That's another indicator that TR turns. Overall, this fall season has been a pretty good year in regards to water quality and fish bite/fight. We've had alot worse for sure. snagged in outlet 3 1
