[QUOTE="Brian Renville, post: 52001, member: 256"] The Yellowstone is considered to be the longest undammed river in the US an most people on the surface would say that it should stay that way, however the current intake diversion could just as well be Hoover Dam if you are a fish. Now this new project creates a bypass that would at least give fish a chance to move back and forth but the idea of a dam has got the tree huggers in full lunatic mode. I figure any chance to keep the fish population and migration healthier the better things will be for the system including Lake Sakakawea.
