Punakha Dzong (3456x2304)"Punakha dzong is distinctive in that it is sited on a relatively flat spit of land at the confluence of the Mo Chhu and Pho Chhu rivers. The rivers surround the dzong on three sides, providing protection from attack. This siting proved inauspicious, however, when in 1994 a glacial lake 90 kilometers upstream burst through its ice dam to cause a massive flood on the Pho Chhu, damaging the dzong and taking 23 lives." - wiki
Namgay remembers that flood for different reasons. The King's royal trout pond was located right outside the Dzong. After the flood, there was alot of trout in the markets for the next two weeks.
It's illegal to fish in the rivers, btw. You need a permit for that.
The King relocated his pond. He likes having fish. lol.
