    Missouri River rise

    In a lot of rivers, as water rises the fish move toward the banks to avoid the increases in current. However, the Missouri has a lot of intrariver structure (sand/gravel bars, drop offs, etc.) and so many of the fish can remain out of reach for shore anglers. If anything, it's definitely worth...

    Sunglasses!

    Get polarized and get Smith. Frames are your choose. A copper or dark amber lens is the best all around lens for fishing everywhere. If don’t use your glasses for fishing, you could just get black. - - - Updated - - - I wear Fortress eyewear sunglasses. Relatively cheap but fairly good glasses...

    What is this?

    I've seen 6-7 species of darters through fish sampling with various agencies in ND/SD. A few of them are very similar, but when they are all colored up like this one identification is easier, especially the males.

    Lakewood entrance - mandan

    Oh, damn! That's an ugly one. Sometimes I'm glad I don't fish that part of the river much, but then you miss out on some really nice fish at times of the year too.

    Devils Lake - what lies ahead?

    Devils Lake is just that, a LAKE. The outlets were created and have altered that already. Lakes dry up and then fill back up. Why do we feel the need to do things to adjust what mother nature decides. It's never been a reservoir and it never should be. The wet-dry cycle is important to...

    What is this?

    Iowa darter - - - Updated - - - In ND we have blacksided, johnny, and iowa darters. I believe there are a few places where you can find logperch (this I know for sure because I've seen many), sand, river, bluntnose, fantail, and banded darters. I believe rainbow darters have been documented...

    How to choose the right flies

    I wouldn't pick any of those boxes, myself. I see a bunch of stuff in all of those boxes that I wouldn't fish. Where you plan to fish will determine what flies you should plan to fish. Lentic or lotic water? High mountain lakes or valley reservoirs? Freestone streams or tailwaters? If you...

    Getting old sucks!!!

    Been there, BBJ. Had a stroke when I was a senior in high school. Helps you appreciate the little things and learn to not take some things too seriously (its impossible to let everything go, even I know that). Hang in there. Sounds like they have a good plan to get you into better shape. Good...

    How to catch big walleye on the Missouri River

    Ahab mentioned bigger baits. This smelt was spit up by a 16” walleye early this week. It’s not JUST your bait, but it can be a start. I too fished for 15 years never catching anything bigger than 6 lbs., then I really started to put in the time and I’m one year I caught 6 fish 8+ lbs. Was a good...

    Face Shields

    Buff UV Insect Shield. I don't know what they put in the fabric, but it works. I can have bugs flying all around me, but they very rarely land on my head or neck (wherever the Buff is). Also has the UV protection. Hoorag also has quite a few "bandanas" that are SPF or UPF, up to 50 UPF. I...

    Hungry Timber wolves~

    Makes me wonder if they haven’t begun to associate people being on the lake with dumped bait, dead fish, other food parts, etc, that being why they are so interested in this individuals location. I have a hard time believing some second hand story (no offense to the OP) really explaining what...
