Walleyes Unlimited swap meet & IL-IN Sea Grant Lake Michigan workshop: Show & Go

A swap meet and a pair of Lake Michigan workshops are among the things coming up over the weekend and early next week in the outdoors around Chicago. Not to mention just the general feel of spring deciding to show up.

I hope to make one of the Lake Michigan fisheries workshops, but it may depend on how whupped I get Monday by going on a secret mission, catching some of opening day at Heidecke Lake and finishing off the day with a night prowl of the Chicago lakefront for the smelt netting opener.
