    wildlife winterkill?

    That's one big reason deer out west have better winter survival over places like the valley. the wind does a hell of a job of cleaning the snow of the north side of ridgelines and often the sun will burn off what the wind missed on the south sides. The bottoms of the draws get pretty deep but...

    Changing aircraft won't matter it simply comes down to snow. if we have snow they count if we don't they dont.

    Anybody see the outcome of the NDSU-SDSU game ?

    Did you watch them this year? They didn't exactly steamroll the competition by any means with most games coming down the the final drive and some into overtime! Fact is they are in a catch 22 right now, if they were to switch they would have a huge disadvantage when it comes to recruiting...

    Ice fishing help for large and smallmouth bass.

    I'm pretty sure you can but like you saw its normally blocked off at the normal entrance. the quickest way in is to drop off the end of Santa Fe Avenue. that will get you pretty much to the north tip of the pond. don't normally see to many guys out there save for the year they stocked it with a...

    Ice fishing help for large and smallmouth bass.

    Does anyone on here ever target bass in winter? would love to give it a try here in town and see how it goes in my folks yard. just about the highest densities of bass and bluegill you will find in the state and a fair few are getting "big". I only have cursory knowledge on what roughly to...

    Anybody see the outcome of the NDSU-SDSU game ?

    No now we are in the present! And the crowd showing up in their review mirror is growing and starting to look pretty familiar!

    wildlife winterkill?

    Yeah its not good when they are dragging their stomachs on the snow this early. like you said they are burning far to many calories far to early and that boads poorly for their numbers. A side note to anyone thinking about feeding them be sure to use hay if you can to mix in with the corn or...

    The temps we are having I bet guys will be out there tomorrow ...ice fishermen are the craziest group of sportsman around. we should be sitting pretty but next weekend and we will get to watch the reports of trucks going through because some people failed math class.

    Ice reports

    The question for me is do these lakes have sufficient oxygen to sustain fish or not. As for brackish fish pike are a big one but I personally would love to see something different somthing more like stripped bass or snook although the snook probably wouldn't be big fans of our winters. I assume...

    Ice reports

    Does anyone know biology well enough to know if lakes like George could be stocked with fish that live in brackish water or one of the fish such as salmon that can live in both salt and fresh? Be a cool little twist to have a lake with fish you would not normally think of being here. They would...

    Yep right up until the plant turns off one or both units. At that point ice builds fast and has on multiple occasions in past years.

    Sweet Jesus a hundred and fifty feet deep and high salt content I'm surprised the damn thing ever freezes! Have to sit down and read that it looks very interesting thanks for posting it. - - - Updated - - - Actually that used to happen a fair bit back in the 90's. Shit you not I've seen guys...

    Ice reports

    Yeah I'm very curious to see today's with this cold high pressure over us clearing out most of the clouds. handy for keeping track of the ice and to see the snow line. I'm also curious about lake George because that little shit is a hard one to freeze and was the last open last year as well. it...

    Ice reports

    This was as of midday yesterday. Looks like the main ice is down to right at Yates with free floating chunks down to about pollock. Would have to assume it made some big gains last night and can't be all that far from you. And for anyone who is wondering about whatsome going on out in the...

    Ice reports

    Yeah so now Murphys law dictates a couple more big snow storms between now and then rendering most lakes unfishable and unreachable without a sled or wheeler with tracks. - - - Updated - - - Yep you can add camp grafton and fort Totten as well.

    Well this is going to get interesting

    I say we set up a go fund me page to pick up equipment to monitor the pipline people at the crossing to make sure they are not up to no good. I would say if we could get a couple new sleds to keep us mobile and a couple Ice Castles to keep us water protectors warm would do nicely. then of course...
