Counter intuitively Trout Unlimited spends huge bucks lobbying to get those smaller dams decommissioned and taken out, while singing the praises of tailwater fisheries below the big ones.

I’m guessing that as part of the refit the smaller dams could probably be made more efficient while also improving fish populations. You probably can have it all if people are just open to the possibilities.

I've stood in the shadow of the Tippy Dam in northern Michigan when guys were literally shoulder to shoulder on both sides of the river fishing for walleye and steelehead.
