Midwest drought causing fish kills -- and hurting fishing business - CBS News: "The government gave us a new report Thursday about the drought. It now covers more of the lower 48 states than in any other time on record. For nearly a quarter of the country, the drought is extreme. Now it's even hurting people on the water.

About 90 miles southwest of Chicago, signs of this cruel summer float lifelessly on the water.

"We were 108 [degrees] down here for four-five days in a row -- tremendous heat," said fishing guide Buster Culjan. He hates what he's seeing on the Illinois River.

"Every morning there was a lot of dead carp floating down river [because the water was] too hot," he said."
