    Short podcast this week.  It's Father's Day so we kept it brief but didn't want to skip another week.  Jordan Kicks things off with this time on the Upper Niagara the past couple of days.  They then delve into what the summer pattern should be on the Niagara (post algae), and why they don't already know.  Ryan talks about his experience on Lake Erie over the past 10 days.  They also discuss the forecast for this upcoming week and what might happen to the water temperatures, and bait, after what is supposed to be a string of upper 80 - lower 90-degree days.
