We sure welcome you to the Valley. Barto Landing and the Spring Valley area will be busy. On Sat there will be a 80 boat tournament going on Illinois Central Council of Carpenters. On Sunday the Illinois Walleye Trail 70-80 Boats. Also across the river at the boat club there will be the GNWC on Sat. and on Sat and Sun. a Rockford club invite only tournament. You might want to consider using the Starved Rock Launch or Hennipen Launch they both have there docks in the water. Again, if your coming good Luck and be safe.

WWWWWEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!Sounds like a fun time on the river. Lets be carefull out there and remember the people that are NOT in any of these tourneys have just as much right to be there. Watch out for the small boats. John stepman Posted 3/15/2004 5:02 AM (#15043 - in reply to #15028) Subject: RE: March 20,21, 2004 Member Posts: 93 Location: princeton Il.

HA HA HA It never fails that the poor guys stuffed 3 wide in a 12 ft boat gets the bailer out from someone plowing into the pack with a big boat. Watchout for the other guys and there kids that dont know much better.
