Just spoke with a very helpful guy named Kevin at the Resource Mgr's Office.
He said that the reason for the little flow is due to the fact that Center Hill currently has no minimum flow mark. There is an upcoming meeting to discuss creating that very thing but at this time there is not. The main factor being watched right now is DO which is well within the state requirements. Also, they have changed the initial repairing of the leaks which make up the "falls" at the Dam to leave them as is. Those put in a flow of around 200cfs themselves.
In a nutshell the river is doing well and the catch rates are high it is just not much flow because it's not needed yet.
They have also discussed adding more stockings to the river. Trout are being caught now from the Dam to Carthage.
Interesting info and nice talking to you Kevin. Thanks for clearing up my questions.
