CADILLAC â The last vestiges of winter are quickly disappearing from the landscape of northern Michigan, bringing to mind pleasant thoughts of summer and all that season entails.
 One of the things that people often associate with summer is fishing, especially in the Cadillac area, where residents are blessed with an abundance of lakes, rivers and streams.
On Tuesday, three young men from Cadillac went to the Lake Cadillac side of the canal to throw some lines in the water.
Gusty winds blowing west to east Tuesday made it difficult to fish anywhere on a westward-facing shore, such as the canal on the Lake Mitchell side or the dock in the city park but the canal on the Lake Cadillac side was OK because they could cast with the wind instead of against it.
