    Default Hebgen Dam Malfunction

    Saw this over on the Washington fly fishing forum

    Not good news for the fish; hope they can get this straightened out quickly.

    The issue with the dam was repaired / resolved around midnight last night - 12-1-2021. Water has been flowing down the Madison since then.

    There will undoubtedly be some adverse effects on the fishery, but they will almost certainly be minimal and temporary.

    The fish are always right.

    Great news that the repairs were implemented so quickly. After the 2008 intake failure, which led to uncontrolled flows for over a month and repairs that were finally completed in 2015, I was expecting much worse.
