The water
Farmington River (Riverton) is a tailwater below Goodwin Dam (West Branch Reservoir) in Connecticut, fished for trout — brown, rainbow, brook, tiger. 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.
