The water
Brandywine Creek (Wilmington) is a freestone river below Marsh Creek Reservoir in Delaware, fished for smallmouth bass, shad, panfish, redeye bass. On dam-controlled water the generation schedule is the whole story: the wade window is the no-generation block, and rising water at the gauge means the pulse is arriving.
