We’ll call it Fish of the Week, but it’s more Fish and Fowl of the Week.
“Sending a picture of my son Lucas [16], who enjoyed the youth waterfowl opener on the Chain O’Lakes,” his dad Jeff Galat emailed. “We followed that up by casting blade baits on Lake Marie and got into some white [and yellow] bass. A crisp and beautiful fall day.”
Besides being beautiful, Saturday was the first day of the youth waterfowl hunt in Illinois’ north zone.
FOTW, the celebration of big fish and their stories (the stories matter, as this one about fish and fowl shows) around Chicago fishing, runs Wednesdays in the paper Sun-Times. The online posting here at chicago.suntimes.com/outdoors goes up at varied days of the week, depending on what is going on in the wide world of the outdoors.
