duanec Posted May 22, 2012 Share Posted May 22, 2012 hey kids - this photo got sent to me showing someone (who is hopefully not recognizable, because that's not the point here) fishing on a water intake structure at a dam. most of these types of facilities are controlled remotely, water levels and flow conditions (intake and outflow) can fluctuate very very quickly and without warning. bad things can happen fast. also kindly suggest to refresh your knowledge (if neccesary) of federal and provincial regulations regarding fishing around dams and water intake/outflow structures. let's be safe out there. cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest 420FLYFISHIN Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 not to familiar with dam functions but are you saying this vent he is standing on will/can knock him off or is it a suck in point so if he falls in he goes? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duanec Posted May 23, 2012 Author Share Posted May 23, 2012 the intake for a facility like this one can create a great deal of suction, and the force of that suction is not always visible at the surface. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
