Looking forward to following this story for years to come. I'm pretty interested to fish the river for smallies after all the changes. This will have a major impact on them as well, if I'm not mistaken.
Some fisherman go all their lives without knowing it's not fish they're after

Where is this dam? Being not familiar with the area... I only know of one dam that I crossed on 2.

Russ,
The Great Works Dam is behind the Mill in Old Town. It is pretty well hidden from the road. In fact, I used to live across the street from the mill when I first got married and I had no idea there was dam that was probably less than 200 yards from my home the whole time I was living there.
P.S. I hope that one day they all come down, particularly the dam below Indian Island.
