The LVVA Ice Fishing Derby, which drew 446 anglers last year to Bangs Lake in Wauconda, has become the ice fishing event in northern Illinois. It headlines this week in Show & Go around Chicago outdoors.
I had hoped to spend a day at the Indianapolis Boat, Sport and Travel Show, one of the last 10-day outdoors shows, this week, but I will not be able to make it happen.
