Again looking at the USGS flow rate data for the Cheoah River at Bearpen Gap (https://waterdata.usgs.gov/monitoring-location/0351706800/#parameterCode=00060&period=P365D&showMedian=false), it looks like the power company "turned off" the ambient discharge rate from Santeetlah Dam at the end of May last year and the summer river levels are quite low.
There are only two weekends on the schedule between now and the end of May that are not planned for high release "flood events". I'm sure that I can fish with my tenkara or do overhead fly fishing at the super low summer levels, but I am interested in finding new rivers to spey cast and swing wet flies.
It looks like I will need to get back up there this coming weekend and the first weekend in May to explore the swinging opportunities.

Flood plain be flood plaining.
Normally there is a lochan way over there on one side, and the River Spey way over there on the other.
Nowhere near as bad as south and west Scotland, but the river Spey is reaching 2015 levels (when the Old Bridge Inn was flooded and closed for 5 months).
Pics from this morning, the water is higher now.

Found out my #Tomintoul granny threw dynamite over the side of the Grantown-on-Spey bridge 😳💣. Her dad had been a foreman on the roads and had some left-over dynamite in a shed. When he died she took it (sticks?) by car and threw it down into the river. Now have visions of a #BridgeOverTheRiverKwai ending scenario over the #Spey - bomber Bessie 🤣
#GrantownOnSpey.
Carrbridge packhorse bridge, north of Aviemore, Strathspey.
The gateway to the Cairngorms, this beautiful bridge dates from circa 1700.
Carr is old Norse for boggy (land).

Come for a blether about #beavers 🦫🦫 - #Cairngorms National Park Authority
https://cairngorms.co.uk/come-for-a-blether-about-beavers/
This is exciting stuff:
“The Cairngorms National Park Authority is working closely with a range of partners to develop a carefully considered proposal to bring beavers back to the area… …habitat assessment work has determined that parts of the Upper #Spey catchment will be the main area of focus initially.”
a bit of single malt in the river okay, but fertiliser within 50' of the bank in turfgrass, not so good. #watershed protection #Spey
Dat was een donders mooie avond gisteren bij Dinercafé Autentieq in Assen. En meteen aanleiding om een whisky/sigaren-genootschap op te richten. Geweldig, samen genieten van de fijne smaken in het leven.

@Hazey looks like those darned #beavers have been super busy on the #Spey again.
You and @DmytroMorykit will enjoy this lovely story about 🦫 💚 for #Ukraine 🇺🇦 …at least when there’s a war to be won.
My son went out to the river with me yesterday, so I actually had some photographic evidence of a very successful start to the year. #flyfishing #steelhead #spey
It's a good mail day when a new book shows up.
Simon Gawesworth is one of the most knowledgable and personable people in the fly-fishing industry. He is a joy to learn from. Stoked to dig into his new book.
