re: W/o looking it up, what's your guess to what the Red and Ouachita River rank in flow rate?

That's pretty cool. Even though I know it's true, it's hard to imagine when you're on that big old lake. And the drive over the 69/75 bridge just below the dam and you can walk across the Red when they're not generating power.

You guys would be amazed at how many pounds of striper meat is pulled out of that lake every single day. With a limit of 10 per person, that's a lot of meat for 1 person. And they get hammered daily. It's crazy that there are that many stripers that thousands can be taken during the summer and the population keeps reproducing.
