LGOP: Fishing
What is a "LGOP"? It's a Little Group of Paratroopers. And this time, we're gather a LGOP interested in fresh air and fishing.
Chicago Chapter Vice Chairman Glenn Granat and Life Member Steve Corcoran will be hosting their 3rd annual fishing day on 05 June from 08:00-15:00 at Joe's Pond in Willow Springs, IL. Friends and families are welcome. Please bring your own fishing gear, bait and chairs.
In addition to fishing we will have bags (cornhole), whiffle ball, and other family friendly activities. Water, soft drinks and snacks will be provided by the Chapter. This is an excellent opportunity to spend time with fellow Paratroopers and their families and share Airborne stories. There will be a prize for the largest and smallest fish caught.
For more info, contact Glenn at (630) 209-2834 or glenngranat@yahoo.com.
Joe's Pond is a 6-acre pond with a maximum depth of 9.6 feet. Largemouth bass, bluegill, sunfish and bullhead make up the bulk of the population with a few crappie and carp thrown in. This pond was once part of the IDNR’s Urban Fisheries Program and was stocked with channel catfish, a few of which may still be found. The entrance is located at S. Willow Springs Rd/Flavin Rd, north of 107th St.
