This is a tale of two lakes. Intertwined lakes, in Barry County, Michigan. Where somehow the water has gone away. Upper and Lower Crooked Lakes, both near and dear to me, are suffering from the lowest water levels I've seen in the 35+ years I've been fishing them.

Hey guys looking for some info on these lakes.....I was on Huron on a kayak that I rented in Port Sanilac and I saw a small mouth on its bed and pulled about a 3lb shallow in the marina.... just wondering if the spawn is still happening on any of these lakes. Information would be helpful I am going to only be able to fish 1 day and only from kayaks

Was on Hamlin last week and didn't see any bedding in the normal areas.  Hoekset said he found some over by the State Park.

Fished Portage today and I didn't spend a lot of time up shallow, but I didn't see any new beds. Some old ones but no new ones.

lots of empty beds. But still a number of quality largemouth on them. This was last week however on Hamlin.
