I brought three out-of-towners to the new rock rapids spillway or dam in Hutchinson yesterday. They were from Minneapolis, St. Cloud and Alexandria. All thought the rushing water and appearance of it was nice.

What do you think?

Crews are beginning to "chink" or fill in smaller rocks around the larger rocks. These smaller rocks are suppose to eventually silt in and bring the water back up the old level.

Has anyone seen fish jumping through the spillway levels?
