    Today we were back out on Lake St. Clair for our annual spring forage trawl survey. Yellow Perch dominated the catch, with many Rainbow Smelt being caught as well. Also caught was a surprise Lake Sturgeon! #GreatLakes #Fish

    At this hour, crews continue to monitor water levels at the Cheboygan Dam. In the last 24 hours, water levels on the Cheboygan River have remained at 21" below the top of the dam. If water reaches 12" below the top, an emergency action plan is in place to safeguard public safety.
