Many rivers and stream are flowing far, far beyond what the reservoirs and farmers below can hold and use.
When the gates on the dams are fully open for extended periods of time
a lot of fish leave the reservoirs. Especially trout.
The tail waters on the last reservoir on a system in many places will flow for many miles into old river bed that is typically dry.
Those fish are doomed because the water flow is soon to be cut off. So that is why I say load up the freezer.
This is kind of a local knowledge type of thing because it dose not happen often.
Hopefully the hatcheries have enough inventory to reset where needed.
