Dam tested Mother Nature approved

battered_trout I’d guess they’re made hardier than anticipated but I still cringe if the drop is more than a couple feet.

Researchers in boats radioed a fish’s condition back to Sharp: "Minor hemorrhage on one eye and minor bulge on one eye."

Tossing 2000 trout down a 463 foot spillway yields a 70% survival rate according to researchers – but I’d still get a stern lecture from the fellow fishing next to me were I to badly juggle a release.

Unfortunately the next 2000 victims will be sent through the turbines. Some fellow standing smartly in a boat full of white lab coats blowing taps..
