There were a couple of articles on this earlier this spring. Basically, a lot of rain would raise the level of the lake with warm water. They would draw out cold water from the bottom of the lake. Eventually there would be no cool water left in the lake. The stripers and walleye in the lake would suffer and a number of species in the river would suffer due to the warm water coming through the dam rather than the cool water that comes through now.
