By-pass of Manchester Falls on Walnut

[Sylvaneous]

I just saw that there was a by-pass of the Manchester falls (chutes) to allow steelhead to run again back up Walnut creek. This is great news. I can fish somewhere besides Elk and 16 mile again.

Curious where you saw that at? It is definitely good news either way!

Any images? I did read the same as well.

“We cut a trough through the west side of the waterfall above the Manchester Hole on Walnut,”

Would love a visual.
