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.

It may be that they've always had it on Friday and Saturday of Easter weekend, but that is the reason I've never been able to go to it.  I understand it's not Sunday, but for a bunch of us Friday is pretty important too.  With out of town guests coming over it makes it difficult.  One of these years I'll make it. 

I hope.
So much water.  So many lures.  So little time.

I understand that. It is hard to schedule things in a state with so much going on and a lot of it compressed into less than 12 months.

I used to miss Easter dinners years ago due to fishing so much trying that tournament thing. Haven't missed any for a number of years now. I traded off. Most of us have to do schedule trade offs a number of times a year.

Now that I'm home for Easter Sunday dinners every year, I can also make the D&R Sports event too.

Help stop invasive spcies. Don't move fish between unconnected bodies of water. Clean, drain and dry your boat before launching on another water body.

i bought my first (used) bass boat there back in '05 from Josh Cooper, met JVD then when he was just stocking shelves.  Met Randy too, nice bunch of folks.   Really want to make it over for one of these 2 days, ive never hit the Spring Open House, picked up my boat the week before it back in '05, that was bad planning on my part i guess.
