Notes come from around Chicago outdoors and beyond.

FIELD NOTES

Paul Vriend sent a photo of these young raccoons at North Park Village Nature Center earlier this summer. “Looks like a close family,” emailed Vriend (ashotofhonkytonk.com). I had trouble running this earlier as I as coming out eradicating a raccoon family from our attic.

WOTW, the celebration of wild stories and photos around Chicago outdoors, runs most weeks in the special two-page outdoors section in the Sun-Times Sports Saturday.

DALE’S MAILBAG

“Just a note to say I couldn’t agree more with your call for a crackdown on disrespectful use of ‘personal watercraft,’ not only on the Chicago River, but all along the city’s lakeshore.” Thomas Simpson

A: It is a problem up and down the lakefront, it’s just worst downtown in the river because of the traffic and the hard walls. Years ago, when I was younger and not so smart (and before I had the Sun-Times column), I kept an old spincast rod with a two-ounce sinker handy at Montrose for personal watercraft users who thought it was cool to fly through the shoreline and the lines of anglers.

BIG NUMBER

18-11.25: Pounds-ounces of the Illinois-record Atlantic salmon, caught May 26, 1979 in Cook County waters of Lake Michigan by Robert Lueckhoff of Downers Grove.

LAST WORD

“Side note, due to the drought up this way the sugar maples are turning red and the birch are showing early signs that change is in the air. The could be a year when colorama peak hits in mid-September.”

Christian Howe, in his fishing report from a Wisconsin trip to Vilas County.
