Shucker, You are 100% correct... well said!!! What people fail to realize... If mother nature wanted an impoundment at that location, mother nature would have put one there! The algae bloom choked the life out of the river, dropping saturated Oxygen to almost immeasurable levels! Heavy contaminates simply sank and were trapped in the silt/slime because the flow rates were hampered by a dam. Fish migrations stopped in their tracks. Water temps rose with such a low flow rate.

Yeah, those dams coming down are just killing the river.
