The water
Clarion River (Ridgway) is a freestone river below East Branch Clarion River Lake Dam in Pennsylvania, fished for trout, smallmouth bass, redeye bass — brown, brook. 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.
