Craig and Roseanne are just home from the O'Hare Sports Show in Chicago. Over the years we have met so many good people from the Chicago area and, at each show, we meet up with old friends and new ones. Here Roseanne and Craig visit with future fisherwoman extraordinaire, Rosemary Wennlund.Her grandfather, Billy Wennlund (the goof in the middle) has been fishing at Viking since he was a kid. Craig's mum, Florence, traces his group back to 1951 when Ron Peterson brought his wife and 3 of his daughters fishing to Viking Island. Ron introduced VI to Roy Fitzer and Merle Crouse who took the news to the local bar in New Lennox. For many years, trips were planned and booked from The Village Tap. Billy got caught up in one of those trips. Now his sons, Trent and Billy bring their friends and Dad tags along.

Please send comments and suggestions. I will try to answer questions about ice out, the weather, fishing and the Red Lake area.
