Michigan Invasive Species: Asian Carp
Fishing is big business in Leelanau and Michigan and an even bigger part of what makes us a premier tourist destination.I’ll leave you with a request to talk with your elected representatives about doing everything they can to stop this invader and a link to our post with frightening video of Asian carp in action.

I did want you all to see it because Mark is taking some fantastic shots of Leelanau and nearby places – check them out! OUR FEATURED SPONSOR…
