    Lake sakakawea water levels

    any crest prior to 1953 should be in a different category as they were all prior to the dam. Also your claim of crest is meaningless when the lake is low and can tolerate above average runoff

    Lake sakakawea water levels

    Do some research on how many times the lake has risen 15' or more. If fishing is the primary reason for the dam then I agree with you but if flood control is what it was designed for that is what it should be managed for - - - Updated - - - https://www.usbr.gov/power/legislation/fldcntra.pdf
