The water
Youghiogheny River (Friendsville) is a tailwater below Deep Creek Dam in Maryland, fished for trout, smallmouth 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.
