This isn’t a bad thing at all fellas.

I’m not answering for Duck Tape, but this project has been in discussion for a long time and really is good for Marion.

He can post up the details as he likes, but the dead forest could/should be cleared to 10ft below the surface at full levels.
This would not impact fishing the timber as a structure, but would definitely help with navigating the area and lower the risk of ripping your motor off the back of your boat.
This should’ve been done decades ago.
As of now, unless you know the area well, you are limited to the stump free channel, and hugging the dam.

There are FAR more benefits to this than meet the eye.
