The water
Tallulah River (Rabun) is a freestone river below Lake Burton Dam in Georgia, fished for trout — rainbow, 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.
