This weekend I am going fishing with my brothers, my son and my grandson “Walleye Willie”. We now go to Brindley’s Harbor Resort on Leach Lake. Sometime in the nineties, my youngest brother Craig was invited by his father-in-law, Jim, to go along on a fly-in fishing trip to Trout Lake in Canada. Over time, my other brothers, who were into fishing, were invited to go along. In 2003 brother Bill offered to pay the way for my son Erik, so I decided to go fishing too. I have never been much of a fisherman, but it was very special since I always enjoyed fishing with my son Erik. I am the oldest of five Osberg brothers and it was a wonderful bonding time. I told the host that I would be back every year for the next 20 years. The next year we went to brother Brian’s cabin near Aitkin instead.
Erik was working as a weekend sportscaster on Channel 10/13 in Duluth and he did a story on fishing with the guide and resort owner Woody for his TV show. He suggested that we try Woody’s instead of the fly-in in 2005. We had a great time and the greatest part is that Woody had a wonderful pub filled with memorabilia from his hockey days. For many years we went back to Woody’s. We never did do the fly-in again. You can check out Woody’s at fairlyreliable.com It is worth the drive just to meet Woody. About 4 years ago we switched to Leach Lake. There is no pub, but rumors are that the pub at Woody’s is closed now anyway. Check out theoutdoorreport.com for the report from Leach.
The show this week is a live broadcast from the CMAC Marvin Sands Performing Arts Center in Canandaigua, New York at the tip of the Finger Lakes. Special guests include pianist and classically contrary essayist Jeremy Denk who will dazzle with works from iconic composers and modern-day masters. Vocalist Heather Masse and The DiGiallonardo Sisters, who have become somewhat of a regular feature, will join the usual cast of the Royal Academy of Radio Actors, Tim Russell, Sue Scott and Fred Newman. Garrison will bring us the latest news from Lake Wobegon. Enjoy the show .
