I’ve been to the Rogue. Brrrr... The water is cold. Brings back good memories. I hope she enjoyed her trip.
The waters cold for a reason. The Cold Spring dam up river, way up river, releases water from the bottom of the lake, and
by federal law, releases just enough to maintain a water temperature of 60 degrees or lower. This is for the returning
salmon that can’t tolerate warm water. If it wasn’t for the dam, we’d have more floods and low, warm water in the summer.
