Thanks!
I get right on this myself and pass it along.

I wonder what would be the impact on smallmouth bass fishing caused by such a construction? I would assume if they're building a ww park there, it already has some rock and gradient, probably a pretty good fishing spot already. Would anglers have to worry about losing their hole?
