Big drop at PROW dam boards churns Wapsi river fate
The PROW group installs boards on the Independence dam during low flows, raising upstream water and lowering downstream levels for a brief period. The author notes rapid 4 inch drops, downstream exposure of banks, and abundant fish activity as birds adapt to the shifting water. Fish species include smallmouth and largemouth bass along with walleyes and other species.

Profiles include a DNA assistant wildlife manager, a CFO and group leader, a Pheasants Forever staffer, and a health worker, each detailing dogs, favored birds, and hunting outlooks for northern Minnesota and beyond.
