CONDITIONS OF THE RIVER THEN AND NOW

The Tittabawassee and its tributaries used to be full of logs from Spring to Fall, they now are empty of logs and at intervals, above Midland, there are power dams.

You will only find today some suckers, a few pike and perch, but worlds of German Carp have taken the place of Wall-Eyed Pike, Pickerel, Bass, both green and black, Rainbow Trout and Sturgeon, but they have mostly disappeared and the Carp fish hold sway over all other kinds of fish on those rivers.
