Thread: Do They Or Don't They?????????

All I know is that we still have fish up here in the river especially the Asian carp that you sent up here after the floods in 93 and I don't know how hard the water was flowing but it didn't wash all the fish to the gulf, fish naturally swim against the current so I don't think that as many fish as what one might think goes out the spillway. Look how hard the Salmon fight to go up river to spawn and that water is probably colder year round that what the lake is down there in the winter. I think all those or most of those fish below the spillway are actually swimming towards the dam trying to go up stream, that is why you see so many more there during drawdown.

that is a theory that a lot of folks hold too, and I agree to some degree.
