Au Sable flow....

Looks like Consumers is peaking water again, the river is at 921cfs right now, ridiculous! About a week ago, it was at 2500+ from the rain, from the next day till now it's dropped way down, for NO reason. I'm getting pretty sick of the way they're treating and running that river, @$$holes! Sending them emails so far isn't doing much, they continue to say they're running them like they're supposed too:rolleyes:......

Does that have a huge effect on getting fish to come up the river when it drops like that this time of year? I'd say that's quite a concern, especially with the timing of it.

It might have something to do with the Dredging they are getting ready to do.:confused:

Why? So they're gonna have the river trickling for however long it takes to dredge the mouth? Looks like this year is gonna be the worst chinook run this river has seen......dredging right during the run and no water.

What happens to a salmon that is imprinted to return to a certain river to spawn when their is no flow into the lake?

Do they wait? Do they die in the lake?

It's still only the middle of Sept. so I'm sure the 34 fish that are going to run the river this year will make it thru sooner or later.:fish::fish::fish::irked:

33 now. I caught one of them this summer.:lol:

With the rain we got will they have to open up the dam a little more to accomade the water? I would assume that should push some fish into the river. Last year I was up in mid october and counted over 50 fish on a single gravel bar, and i know the were a lot more where that came from. Should be up in the next month to fish. Good luck
