The water has come up quite a bit since yesterday at the Homestead Dam. Lots of people working hard down here to keep things from getting worse. Hopefully the rains hold off for a while.

Should be considered a holiday up in these parts!

This day in Michigan history, April 2, 1966, Michigan made a bold move that changed the Great Lakes forever—introducing coho salmon in the Platte and other area rivers. The first of 850,000 Coho salmon were planted in the Platte River in Benzie County. This significant event marked the beginning of a freshwater salmon program in the Great Lakes region. On April 2, 1966, State Rep. Arnell Engstrom released the first coho salmon into the river, using a golden bucket for the occasion. Salmon stimulated fishing and helped the state deal with alewives that had entered the lakes through the Saint Lawrence Seaway.
What started as an experiment turned into a fishing frenzy, transforming the region into a $7 billion sport-fishing destination.
