Oscoda, MI Posts: 2611	Northern MI, including the U.P., has been in a drought this summer, with numerous wildfires in the U.P. and low waters in the northern lower. However, those of us living in the southern part of the state have had PLENTY of rain this August, including a squall line that came though this morning (fortunately, I have plenty of office work right now so I don't have to go out and dodge lightning). This evening I went out for a walk on my local section of the Huron, and the water was up at least a foot and a bit off-colored (there's a tributary that runs behind my apartment that always gets muddy when it rains hard enough). I was going to my local public pool to cool off (and for some bikini watching - you gotta love college towns!), and while there swarms of flying ants came sailing over. Crossing the river on my way home, I saw quite a few fish feeding, including in a side channel that had been too low for fish only a week ago or so. Quite likely a bunch of little bluegill - but the smallmouth can make deceptively gentle rises so you never know... At least everything is nice and green around here, which bodes well for fall wildflowers and of course leaf colors. Also, I might have to check out the lower Huron around Flat Rock because I suspect the higher water levels might entice a few salmon and steelhead to come in...Within a month they'll be coming in all over the state! That's the report from my neighborhood... Jonathon
	No matter how big the one you just caught is, there's always a bigger one out there somewhere...
