Ice damage and then extremely high water has impacted some marinas on Lake Michigan, particularly those without floating docks. Water levels in some marinas have been over the finger piers. Flooded parking lots and low lying park areas. Cold rainy May and June. Now hot and humid. Not much enthusiasm among boaters thus far. The normal peak between mid-July to mid-August is off to a slow start. Salmon fishing seems to be way off from previous years, in part because the State stopped planting/stocking fish because primary food fish (alewives) are dwindling....a result of the invasive mussel population choking off micro life in the Lake. Divers who have been surveying the coast line report massive mussel beds offshore with the bottom littered with dead fish. The much less desirable Lake Trout have made a resurgence because they are able to eat the invasive Gobi fish which have also infested the Lake.
