The water seems healthy here. There are often hundreds of minnows swimming under and around the dock. There are also many families of ducks and geese that are spending the summer here. 😁

I have never seen the ice take so long to let go. The river opened up down the centre n the 13th but the shore ice lasted another three weeks. The flooding below the dam started on the 18th of April.
The water levels in the reservoir above the dam did not come back to normal levels until the 3rd of July.
