MG, feel free to correct me if I'm reading that wrong, but I definitely see a chart that shows at 80%, the Condition is below 100, whereas around 40%, the Condition is above 100.

That's right. One should be careful not to extrapolate the line below 40% where there is no available data. Shutting the weirs up to a 10% opening may well negatively impact the fish. But once they are open 40%, opening them up more DOES NOT FATTEN the fish.
