[penguicon-general] Penguicon 7: May 2-4, 2009?

[Clay Dowling]

I've got similar concerns.  A quick check with the DNR shows that walleye
season has just opened at that point in lower peninsula inland lakes on
the previous weekend.  While we probably don't have a gigantic overlap
with diehard anglers, the week leading up to Penguicon is pretty hectic
and it could put a real crimp in my fishing.  I'd be a lot more
comfortable with an early April date.
