The water
Chattahoochee River (below Buford Dam) is a tailwater below Buford Dam in Georgia, fished for trout, bass — brown, rainbow. 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.
