One year, Rich Komar held the Tinley Park show on Super Bowl weekend, but that is the exception. Generally this is the weekend when there is a break in shows around Chicago outdoors and this year is no exception.

But the Indiana DNR has two public meetings scheduled on Lake Michigan stocking changes.

The first is at 7 tonight (Jan. 30) at Red Mill County Park in LaPorte, Ind. Click here for details.

The second is at 10 a.m. Saturday, Feb. 1, at the Indiana Harbor Yacht Club, in East Chicago, Ind. Click here for details.
