Starting 2023 with Indiana Chinook stocking meetings, a gathering for bald eagles and first fishing show

Go & Show is up and going for 2023, starting with a variety of offerings.

First of all, the master list of outdoors shows, classes and swap meets is at tinyurl.com/mvvc7cpx. I update the listings as changes come. There’s been two updates so far.

• The Indiana Department of Natural Resources will hold two public meetings on Indiana’s Lake Michigan Chinook salmon stocking plan. The first is at 7 p.m. Friday, Jan. 6, at Michigan City Fish and Game Club in Trail Creek, Ind. The second is at 10 a.m. Saturday, Jan. 7, at Indiana Harbor Yacht Club, East Chicago, Ind. I hope to make the second one.

• This is a bit of a drive, but Bald Eagle Days, billed as the largest Midwestern event related to bald eagles, are centered at the QCCA Expo Center, Rock Island, Ill., Friday through Sunday, Jan. 6-8. Details are at qccaexpocenter.com/baldeagledays. There are a multitude of events.
• Again, I know this is a drive but some readers recommend this show, especially as the season starter. The Let’s Go Fishing Show is Friday through Sunday, Jan. 6-8, at Gateway Convention Center in Collinsville, Ill. Details are at gatewaycenter.com/fishing-show/home
