Neil Sprenkle, left, and Larry Dreese, both of Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, head for their fish stringer with a Chinook Salmon that Sprenkle had just landed near the Crystal River Dam and Portage Area in Glen Arbor on Friday. "(Landing one is) like hooking the bottom of the world," Sprenkle, on his first fishing trip to the area, said.

Dreese has been coming to Northern Michigan to fish for about 15 years he said, but has had better trips. "The cotton picking rain ruined a bunch of streams," Dreese said. "It's been rough."
