Fish City. April 22, 2026. The Great Lakes are not an untouched wilderness, but an aquatic ecosystem intertwined with human activities. Among the largest intersections of humans and nature occurs at the Bruce Power Generating Station on Lake Huron, the largest nuclear power plant in North America. The plant warms the cold lake waters, attracting fish and modifying their habitat. We dive into these warmers waters to meet several species drawn to the plant, including many that are difficult to see elsewhere, like the bigmouth buffalo, the gizzard shad and freshwater drum, along with well-known species such as smallmouth bass and common carp.
The Freshwater Everest. On September 14th, 2025, the Zach and Yvonne did a livestream from the “Freshwater Everest” aka “Superior Shoal”, a submerged mountain range that also happens to be one of the most remote freshwater sites on Earth. They explored volcanic rock formations, underwater canyons, rare redfin lake trout – including some spawning activity, deepwater sculpin, and a mysterious piece of wood!
