Pulling the plug

Anybody else think the drop rate seems a little excessive around Pool 13? Is a gradual slow fall such a bad thing? Do they always have to drop it 18 inches a day? My goodness! Seems hard to believe we’d be driving our boats through the woods one week and breaking out the push poles the next. Apparently the drain only has one setting…all the way open.

I think they are trying to avoid mistakes made in 93- in my opinion they held back too much water then and when it was raining in june and july there was no place to put it. I agree it is insane- part of the challenge of river fishing i guess. One day the ramps are closed cuz its too high, the next week they are too low and all you do is bump stumps.
