Absolutely Larry , Call me Ish ( Short for Ismail ) , Chicago is on my list for fishing Steel Head Salmon, You guys have an Amazing Run that Peaks in November , and it's awesome that it not that expensive to fish for Salmon in Illinois , We are 1 day away from November so there must be boats on the river for sure
, In Quebec we need Tags for Salmon , we need to put our name in a Pools and way more hurdles , but thank God for places like Chicago .
My Brother in law has friends in the Windy City , While back I was celebrating with one of his friends in his Marriage , He tells me the next U.S president is going to be black , I replied "Say What?!?!?!" , Years Later Obama gets elected , I fell Off my chair , Found out later Brother In-laws friend is District Attorney of that area & good friends with President Obama , he told me about that Salmon Run in Chicago I was hooked brother , & we spoke about Irish History and I advised him that Montreal has the Oldest St Patrick Parade in North America , now if I went to Boston and said that out loud , I can guarantee I will get an Irish Shiner , The Irish and Scottish History in Montreal goes back 300 years . Plus Montreal and Chicago share a link together , reason I say that , Al Capone use to get all his Booz from Montreal and get smuggled through Stowe Vermont and down To Chicago and all distribution Hubs. My Christian God Father has a Cottage in Stowe Vermont located on the Mountain. During Winter you can actually see the trails the Rum Runners left in the Forest , those trails are still there today. Interesting History it is. So Chicago and Montreal Share a great wealth Of History and are connected for sure. . And You would Love Montreal , It has a French Twist and Quebec City is real beautiful and Old School 1700 Haunted Buildings and the Food also will take your breath away . You would love it .
Sorry Larry for me ranting away there ( I talk more Hence you can Imagine some discussions I Have with friends about History and culture ) , God Willing I will talk to my brother in Law and see if we can make some plans to hit the Windy City and will through a fishing line your way and we will hook up God Willing , peace and Love brother From Montreal Quebec .( and Chicago Pizza Oh Yaa baby , My Italians friends in Little Italy said that Pizza is fit for Kings )
