sponsons really work! (BS)

The lake that I am describing is only about an hour and half south of Lake Ontario. Heh...you'll appreciate this, John, since you're from my same latitude and only a short ways west. Every summer, me and my buds head _north_ to Ontario for the warm-water paddling on the Ottawa River. The section we paddle is controlled by a top-release dam, and it's considerably warmer than the Deerfield, which is bottom-release. It feels like bath-water to us! A friend of mine from Ithaca goes up there quite often as well. Have you met a guy named Matt Stevens? Moral to that story, latitude is just _one_ factor influencing water temperature...and often, not the most important one. There's a similar scenario not far from here. I've gone flyfishing a bunch of times on a couple of rivers in the Catskills. Both the east and west branch of the Delaware river are tailwater rivers (fed from the bottom of a dam). The west branch is fed from Cannonsville reserveroir all summer but the feed into the east branch from Pepacton reservoir is reduced significantly. As a result, the water temperature goes up and many of the fish in the east branch move into the west branch. |
