Manistee River

One of the men who repaired the foundation heard his younger brother.

The brother had drowned in the Manistee River at sixteen, and his body was recovered three days later and buried in a closed coffin.

Beneath the church...

He laughed as he had laughed before the water took him, and the man knew it was not truly his brother.

Okay.

Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel is urging state regulators to reject Consumer Energy's proposed sale of 13 hydroelectric dams to private company Confluence Hydro, including the Hodenpile and Tippie Dams in the Manistee River.

Nessel says the deal could leave taxpayers responsible for costly repairs or a future dam failure.

Consumer Energy argues the sale is the cheapest option for ratepayers, avoiding billions of dollars in potential repair or demolition costs.

Then I ended up eventually transferring up into the Cadillac District, took over as lieutenant, which was district law supervisor, so...

A lot of famous places, you know, Sleeping Bear Dunes, Grand Traverse County, Leelanau, Manistee River, Pierre Marquette River.

All of that fell under mine.

I had like 23 officers working for me.

So a lot of the stories most associated with this creature are in the northwest part of Michigan's Lower Peninsula, particularly around Wexford County and the Manistee River.

But reports and retellings, as they do, have spread well beyond that region.

Okay.

But here's what I found out about Ken Borton, too.

And doing research on him, I'm like, "This guy raised $2.5 million to help with the Manistee River and the Au Sable Rivers.

That doesn't sound like a guy that hates the DNR or conservation."

Right.

Eggs were reared earlier this spring using an in-stream incubator.

Those larvae hatch directly into the Manistee River and aren't hand-released.

Now, the tribe is surveying for those fish and the ones stocked last year.

So far, none of the partner tribes have recaptured a grayling from the first year.

The goal of the research that I did when I was there was to identify lake sturgeon spawning areas where are these fish queuing in on and laying their eggs, and make sure that those areas are protected.

So a lake sturgeon restoration plan was developed by the Little River Band of Ottawa Indians, and that plan now guides lake sturgeon restoration in the Big Manistee River.

We catch up with Corey Jerome, a sturgeon biologist working with the Little River Band of the Odawa in Manistee, Michigan.

I'm a fisheries biologist working on the restoration of Lake Sturgeon and the Manatee River in the 1836

Cedar Territory.

We're working on the Manatee River in Manatee, Michigan.

The river flows into Lake Michigan in the northern part of the Lower Peninsula.
