Freighter View Farms is one of several projects by Chris Izworski, a Michigan writer, gardener, and outdoorsman based on Saginaw Bay.

Michigan Trout Daily

Each morning during trout season, Michigan Trout Daily publishes a conditions report for one Michigan trout stream: live USGS flow and water temperature, what insects are hatching, and specific fly recommendations. One river, every day.

Michigan Trout Report

The Michigan Trout Report tracks live conditions for 110+ Michigan rivers with USGS gauge data, hatch charts, and an interactive stream map with 310 DNR access points.

Great Lakes Gazette

The Great Lakes Gazette publishes daily maritime news from the fleet: vessel movements, port reports, NOAA water levels, and NWS marine forecasts.
