Water covers more than 80 percent of the earth’s surface, in oceans, lakes, rivers, ponds, ice caps, glaciers, and even underground aquifers. It is a limited renewable resource for its precipitation and evaporation cycle. Water always evaporates, moving to the atmosphere where it will help create the next incoming weather system. Jet streams will deliver the next rainfall or snowfall. But what if the jet stream pattern takes a detour to elsewhere? When the jet stream fails to “FedEx” our needed rainfall and snowfall, droughts can occur. Every 10 to 12 years, my region of Northern Wisconsin experiences a drought period. The consequence of drought reduces aquatic life, fish populations, and fishing success. The aquatic ecosystem will reacts and adapts accordingly to the cycle.   A Famine to the Fishery A place’s climate can change from year to year, or decade to decade. The last documented drought period for the region began in summer 1998, and didn’t relent until 2012. Seemingly a famine, the Northwoods received meager amounts of rainfall and snowfall when the jet stream never visited, detouring to the north or south instead those years. Prior in
