Two anglers were spotted fishing north of Lock and Dam 13 in Fulton on Tuesday, June 27, as the smoke from Canadian wildfires descended over the region. The smoke limited visibility to less than half a mile, creating reflective scenes along the river while highlighting the spring flooding debris on the shoreline. More photos on page 2.
