And that would be great sauger water.As kc mentioned the less flow the better with the upper dam for sauger, but during the winter less flow is hard to come by. good luck. Chuck
Ok so called dam number and the recording said 14 feet at the upper gage, and 34 feet at the lower gage. I imagine the flow and current is awfull. Is the upper gage the upper dam and the lower gage the lower dam? That seems like a stupid question as I write it, but I have never fully understood this. The weather .gov chart has the flow rate right now at something like 260 kcfs.
