The water
Henrys Fork (Ashton) is a tailwater below Ashton Hydroelectric Project (FERC No. 2381) in Idaho, fished for trout, whitefish — brown, rainbow, cutthroat, 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.
