Miraculously they managed to pass under the Hwy 62 bridge but are heading toward Lock & Dam 16 at Webbers Falls. Not sure what kind of damage they could inflict...

Even higher. In spring is when catch huge sheepshead, last summer was poor fishing there , usally on average it is no good for fishing there until next weekend every year, be later, this year, closet good place I know of, other streams. Not as good even. If the rollars where down, it might damage lock an dam in dbq
