That's what they need to get into Merkle. Well done guys.
nice pics good work
I recall reading somewhere that there used to be very little movement of gamefish between Trude and the TFF proper, due to the shallow culvert that used to be there. (I don't know how this was determined.) With this new deeper channel, I wonder if there will be more fish mixing between the 2 bodies of water. Facts, ideas, opinions, references, anybody?
How deep did they make the channel under the bridge?
The channel under the bridge is about four feet, but the approach on both sides is only two to three feet. Low water could be a problem.Quote:

The flowage side has got a good 6 feet or more all the way to the bridge. I think in times of low water, the problem is going to be the shallow west side of Trude, not the channel under the bridge.Quote:

Randy, the locator is find, when we went to Trude, the water was down. This was only a few dazes after ice out. Haven't been back, but will check it out sometime.Quote:
