RIVERS -- Anglers would like to seek the region's rivers calm down a little more, but paddlers are enjoying their "extended season" as cool wet weather prolongs the spring runoff.

"Marble Creek is still at a fairly high level," said Todd Hoffman as he posted the photo above after his weekend trip to kayak the St. Joe River tributary. "Unbelievable for this late in the season."
