📰 News we're reading
• Michigan wants one less aging dam, but price is a ‘pristine lake' (mlive.com) — Cheboygan County residents face a big change at Roberts Lake near Indian River, where the state plans to remove an aging DNR-owned dam this August, partly draining the 54-acre pond. Officials cite safety, liability, and limited funding, while local advocates push to preserve the quiet backcountry lake and argue alternatives weren’t fully explored. County leaders support saving the lake but reject taking full dam liability. 
• Weekly Fishing Report: June 10 (upnorthvoice.com) — Cheboygan anglers should know the Lock and Dam Complex is still closed, but Lake Huron and the Cheboygan River are producing reliable walleye and lake trout catches. Recent reports describe strong success near Poe Reef and between the State Street and pedestrian bridges, with most river trips yielding at least one keeper. Techniques, depths, and lure choices are detailed for planning your next outing.
