Thanks for the report. I may stay away until the next flood. There was a fish kill in my current spot. Water temp was 96 degrees today.

And with all of the new development in Montgomery and Hillsborough this is only going to get worse in the years to come. Goodby Millstone

people worried about snakeheads and flatheads that have near zero negative impact once the rest of the ecosystem adapts, meanwhile humans are destroying entire sections of river with nothing being done to stop it.... make it make sense...
