Brooke Trout Update
To Michigan Trout Unlimited Board Members
I wanted to quickly send a significant update to you regarding the litigation we had commenced against the Natural Resources Commission regarding the UP 10 brook trout daily bag limit issue More detailed subsequent communications will be coming but this is meant to serve as a quick update to you as Board members
Following the MITU Board vote approving us entering litigation against the NRC we with the help of our member attorneys filed suits in both the Ingham County Circuit Court as well as an administrative contested case appeal Yesterday January 9th 2020 at the NRC meeting the NRC voted to remove the 10 brook trout daily bag limit from all 33 sections of streams that had been included in it This ends of our need to litigate
We will provide you all with more information and details about what transpired but the DNR sent out a press release about this yesterday immediately after the NRC meeting ended so I wanted to get you a quick email concerning this matter
Id also for now like to note acknowledge and offer my appreciation for the assistance provided to us in this legal matter from two of our members
Brian Considine long time Paul Young Chapter board member and his firm Dawda Mann Mulcahy and Sadler PLC stepped forward to officially represent MITU in this legal challenge and help us to navigate an interesting precedent-setting legal process In addition Dave Whitfield Schrems Chapter Board member with the law firm Honigman provided legal counsel to MITU on this case since 2018 and continued providing his expertise through this most recent legal challenge Both individuals contributed their time and talents to this important cause pro bono because they believe in the mission of TU and because science-based natural resources management is worth fighting for Please join me in thanking them for stepping forward and assisting us in getting this positive result for our fisheries
I am very pleased that our objective was achieved without the need to allocate a significant portion of our resources to this end over the course of 2020 However I am grateful to all of you as board members for your resolute commitment to fighting for whats right demanding science-based fish management and for having been willing to invest in the future of our brook trout populations This outcome does not mean less work for MITU in 2020 it means that our resources can go towards a multitude of projects that will improve coldwater fisheries rather than fighting against degradation of them That is a wonderful outcome

Great Lakes water levels could be even higher in 2020
Detroit MI- With water levels in the Great Lakes breaking records in 2019 the US Army Corps of Engineers is predicting levels to reach similar heights in 2020 with a chance of new records being set again
Projections that extend six months from the present-day estimate levels in every Great Lake as well as Lake St Clair will be well above the average levels with Lakes Michigan and Huron appear the most likely to set record highs Both came close to records in 2019
Great Lakes have a long memory and it takes a while for lakes to respond said Lauren Fry the technical lead for Great Lakes hydrology at the US Army Corps of Engineers Looking at where we are now going into the future it will take an extended period of very dry conditions to bring us back to the average
While its unclear how long it will be before water levels do return to normal the Army Corps is confident even if this year experiences its driest year ever measured the Great Lakes will still be above the average
While projections become less certain the further into the future people look the outlook for the winter and spring will likely be wet not dry Layered on top of an already historic season of high lake levels in 2019 that measured new records in Lakes St Clair Erie Ontario and Superior its likely Great Lakes residents will see more of the same in 2020
The last time lake levels were this high was in 1986 when Fry said there was a really big fall precipitation
Besides precipitation evaporation on the lakes are the two primary factors that determine lake levels Since the lakes recorded historic lows 10 years ago the region has seen consistent ice cover matched with heavy rainfall and snowmelt
By my read whats changing are the extremes The fact is its gone from more than a decade of at or around record lows in 2010 then jumping up to record highs so quickly - its unusual said Joel Brammeier CEO of the Alliance for Great Lakes That volatility (shows) were seeing potentially global climate change coming to the Great Lakes
In 2019 water levels in Lakes Michigan and Huron came close to breaking records in June and July when levels rose two feet above average recorded measurements Lake St Clair also reached its high in July extending multiple inches above the 1986 record and more than two feet above the norm
The past few years have been particularly wet for residents in the region Just in 2019 every Great Lake beside Lake Superior received higher than average precipitation Fry said 2015-19 has been the regions wettest fiveshyyear-period in recorded history in the Great Lakes Last May 23 of the months 31 days saw rain above the average measured by the National Weather Service
When that volatility arrived in Michigan it wreaked havoc on coastal communities around the state The Detroit River which connects Lake St Clair to Lake Erie spilled into the city
and inundated neighborhoods like Jefferson Chalmers with high water levels Parts of Harrison Township which sits just west of Lake St Clair became impassable after its roads channeled water that spilled over from the basin
Docks in St Clair Shores became submerged and kept people from accessing their boats Even the annual Jobbie Nooner was disrupted by the lake levels
In response to the high lake levels Michigans Department of Environment Great Lakes and Energy sped up the time it takes for residents to acquire a seawall permit Several communities have also requested Gov Gretchen Whitmer to declare a state of emergency in hopes of acquiring enough money to mitigate future-damage the levels might cause
Ten state lawmakers mailed a letter to the governor in early December requesting the declaration However at the time Whitmers administration said the Michigan State Police which works with emergency response teams has yet to receive a request from county executives

Where did my donation go - Killat
Did you ever wonder where the money goes that you spend at the TU Banquet each year Here how your Board spends the money
bull We send a donation to Michigan TU which goes to support many programs throughout Michigan
bull Last year we also donated money to efforts to reduce soil erosion on the PM
bull We support Salmon in the Classroom at 7 sellools This includes suppling the equipment needed to set up and run the aquariums
bull We purchased and planted cedars on the Cedar River to help provide shade and maintain cold water
bull We supply and monitor temperature and flow meters on several sites on local trout streams
bull We work with county road commissions to improve road crossings and reduce siltation
bull We partner with Little Forks Conservancy on two sections of land along the Cedar Rv
So enjoy the Banquets and thank you for this support
