That water is drawn from the bottom of Lake Murray, so, even in the summer, it's about 62-65 degrees, which is cold enough to support brown and rainbow trout. There's even a surfaced boat ramp about a mile from the dam, which, before I made this trip, looked awful tempting to take my jetboat and do some fishing. However, if they suddenly release water into this 9 mile long, 200 foot wide river, there's no running against it to get back, and staying on the river would be disastrous. Besides, I hit enough rocks with the kayak, I have no desire to repeat it with an aluminum boat. I'll stick with something light enough I can drag it off a rock, or, if it flips, broaches, etc, it's no major issue, or at least, not as major as doing that with a johnboat.</blockquote>
