[font "Comic Sans MS"][#800000][size 4]I'm originally from Michigan myself, so I stay in touch with family and friends back there on a regular basis. They are telling me just the opposite of what you are saying. I'm not calling anybody a fabricator.[/size][/#800000][/font]

[font "Comic Sans MS"][#800000][size 4]However, the clearer water is a sign of no plankton. Plankton is at the very bottom of the fish food chain and where there isn't any plankton, the whole fish hieracy is thrown out of balance. The inland lakes, rivers, and streams in the Traverse City area of Michigan are becoming barren acording to my friend Jim who lives in Frankfort. He is retired now and in his 60s. He stopped chartering over 10 years ago but still fishes 2 or 3 days a week including ice fishing in the winter. I've known Jim for over 30 years and I don't doubt him for a second. If he says the fish are down in numbers in his area of the state, you can take it to the bank. He fishes for salmon, steelhead, browns, perch, and white fish. All species are down in his area.[/size][/#800000][/font]

[font "Comic Sans MS"][#800000][size 4]I truely hope I'm wrong, but I think the clearer waters your family and friends are seeing is a harbinger of bad times ahead.[/size][/#800000][/font]

[font "Comic Sans MS"][#800000][size 4]I can't explain the success shown on the link you provided. That charter service is indeed having a fortunate season. Frankfort is not.[/size][/#800000][/font]
