[QUOTE="dean nelson, post: 254019, member: 1305"] That would be counter productive. Saks intake is at the bottom where as oahes is mid column thus the reason why she's so bad at sucking smelt through since that's where the smelt tend to hang during the middle of the day during the middle of the summer. You think eventually the state of South Dakota would just say screw it and invest several million dollars in a gigantic net that they could place in a loop around the intake structure. Needless to say it would have to be big enough that it can reach the bottom but also not so close to the intake structure that it actually gets sucked in but it'd be a relatively easy thing to do just fairly expensive.
