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.

Don't know if you saw and or read Don Barone's latest piece. Don is by far one of the most creative sports reporters out there. He always intertwines a song with his articles. He's a master at what he does. The last article dealt with the topic of aging. If you're over 55, like me, you can definitely relate. I took the liberty of copying the article and pasting it here knowing that I've acknowledge his authorship. I don't think he'd mind me sharing it here so you don't have to go to the B.A.S.S. link. BTW It wouldn't hurt to add Don and Shaw to our prayer list.
