In fishing, a gaff is a pole with a sharp hook on the end that is used to stab a large fish and then lift the fish into the boat. Ideally, the hook is placed under the backbone. Gaffs are used when the weight of the fish exceeds the breaking point of the fishing line or the fishing pole, but cannot of course be used if it is intended to release the fish unharmed after capture.
A “Flying Gaff” is a specialized type of gaff used for securing and controlling very large fish. The hook part of the gaff (the “head”) detaches when sufficient force is used, somewhat like a harpoon’s dart. The head is secured to the boat with a length of heavy rope or cable.
The Jordan River is a river in the U.S. state of Michigan that empties into Lake Charlevoix. The Jordan’s headwaters rise from springs in the upper Jordan River Valley north of Mancelona. The river is among Michigan’s cleanest and coldest rivers and was the first river in the state to be federally designated as a National Wild and Scenic River.
The Jordan river is well known for its world-class brook trout fishing and for its scenic canoe trips. Canoeing is restricted to downstream of Graves Crossing in order to protect the delicate headwaters.
Ice cream cake is either ice cream in the shape of a cake or ice cream and cake layered together to make a single form. The idea of ice cream cake came from desserts composed of cream and cookies or cake called trifles, which first turned up in the Renaissance. Ice cream cake can be used for birthday cakes.
Victorians made desserts called bombes, which consisted of ice cream and fruit in fancy molds. Sometimes these desserts were lined with cake or biscuits. Ice cream cake recipes dating to the 1870s have also been found.
Today, ice cream cakes are made in many ice cream stores and in many different varieties, including tin roof pie.

An ice stream is a region of an ice sheet that moves significantly faster than the surrounding ice. Ice streams are significant features of the Antarctic where they account for 10% of the volume of the ice. They are up to 50 km wide and 2 km thick. They stretch for hundreds of kilometres and account for most of the ice leaving the ice sheet, and entering the ice shelf.
The speed of the ice in the ice stream can be 1,000 meters per year, an order of magnitude faster than the surrounding ice. The shear forces at the edge of the ice stream causes deformation and recrystallization of the ice from hard glacial ice to a softer and more brittle form. Crevasses form particularly around the shear margins.
The causes of ice streams vary, though most are associated with sub-ice water streams, which lubricate the ice flow. The type of bedrock also is significant. Soft, plastic sediments result in the fastest flow.
The 1952 NCAA Men’s Division I Ice Hockey Tournament involved 4 schools playing in single-elimination play to determine the national champion of men’s NCAA Division I college ice hockey.

Lake, Michigan may refer to a few places in the U.S. state of Michigan:
- An unincorporated community in Garfield Township, Clare County, Michigan
- Eight different Lake Townships
- Lake County, Michigan
- Lake City, Michigan
There is also Lake Michigan as well as numerous lakes in Michigan which, as might be expected, contain “Lake” in their name; a partial list can be found at .
- You may be looking for deadstick landing
While fishing, generally for black bass, deadsticking is the act of presenting a soft plastic lure either by casting or a vertical drop and allowing the bait to remain motionless for an extended period time before retrieval.
