That's amazing - that fish was caught by an angler from Beulah,
ND in the Garrison Tailrace, which is about 50 miles away from
my home. I wonder what idiot changed that to an angler from
Butte, MT and the Clark Canyon Dam.

Incidently, the Garrison Tailrace is the Missouri River just
below the Garrison Dam, near Pick City, ND. There are browns,
rainbows, cutthroats, and Chinook salmon in there (the water
flows at about 40 degrees F year round.) It's a popular winter
fishing spot because it very seldom freezes over. The trout
and salmon get freakishly fat in there by eating the smelt that
get sucked through the turbines at the power plant. People
who have heard that there is a tailwater with trout in ND often
email me and ask if it is wadable. Since the water usually
flows at 20-30,000 cfs, up to 60,000 cfs in a high water year,
my answer is, "Not twice, you don't."
