Bust that sucker down and let freedom reign. Walleyes, shad and smallies can now move up from the D.
Wikipedia fun fact: smallmouth will travel great distances to seek out cooler water with some traveling 12 miles in one day and up to 60 miles in a season so if you know the areas of cool water(springs/cold tribs/shaded areas) in July/August, you may find the motherload.

Agreed on those dams. Good to hear the river's thriving even as is. Haven't been up in a couple of years.
