[QUOTE="Brian Renville, post: 86242, member: 256"] I haven't figured out what the largest factor against this is. Basically you're describing Ft. Peck. Peck is managed for fish reproduction on a changing water level basis. High years for spawning, low years for vegetation grown and cover for the high water years. On one hand the homeowners downstream of Sak would scream even more bloody murder is the Corps flat out told them river management isn't going to at least claim they are a/the priority. Couple that with the fact that would have two dams doing the same plan in a row on the river might result in even more freakout. On the other hand I think many of the fishing folks have gotten used to the 30 min spinner/crank limit most of the summer between New Town and Van Hook. It's basically stock like crazy, catch 16 inchers, repeat. I wonder if a lot of folks would welcome a shake up in routine on Sak for a better chance at that 16 pounder that a person knows is far greater up at Peck? Certainly doable I would think though, keep the dams on opposite schedules and it should all be good. After four years ago though I think the money is making the corps manage for that 500 year flood again. [/QUOTE]
