giant.
Two gates. One restless chamber. Bring the level to the arriving bass, admit it, then pump toward the downstream mark before the pressure climbs.

Hold level.
Cycle clean.
Guide eight bass before the shift clock expires. A gate opened against mismatched water adds pressure; three red zones shut the station down.

STANDARD PASSAGE / THREE MOVEMENTS
A lake divided.
A route restored.
- 01
Meet the arrival
Use the pump paddles to align the chamber waterline with the amber mark beside the waiting bass.
- 02
Admit under balance
Cycle Gate A while the two levels agree. A sloppy intake raises station pressure and breaks the clean-cycle chain.
- 03
Follow the current
The blue exit mark changes with every fish. Match it, open Gate B, and bank the transfer before time expires.
BUILT 1974 · RESTORED FOR MIGRATION
The river remembers every closed gate.
Station 08 once moved timber barges. Today its orange doors open for the oldest route in the lake—one enormous bass at a time, always downstream, always before dawn.
