    2015 Fish Stocking Report

    The game and fish does not raise perch in the hatchery so they don't have the capacity to do large scale stocking. They just net stunted perch from one lake move them to another normally just before they spawn. If the lake for whatever reason can't support a self sustainable perch population...

    The International Space Station

    This is the one I always liked looking at just to see the crazy speed of it. Saw it well watching the first slivers of light hinting on the eastern horizon last year on the second day of duck season and by the time we were shooting it had crossed damn near half the world both north to south and...

    Shad vs ...

    That's not really what the over all driving factor on most all the baits you listed. For starters the fish's eyes don't see like ours and the colors that they or even humans see changes literally by the foot as you descend through the water column and even that is variable based on water...

    Shad vs ...

    My go to crank is often the minnow rap. I've just had better catch rates with them enough that they will be one of the first out the gate when trolling.

    Forum change????

    My system does that on here already. Could be 8 pages but if I haven't been on since page five that's where it automatically takes me.

    Who is in favor of slot limits

    Yeah you can use any non game fish in SD so long as it's comes from the same body of water and is not transferred in water from that body of water. Everything has to be put in tap water before leaving the lake or cleaning station or drained. Now in the hills the rules are much tighter and only...

    Who is in favor of slot limits

    Oh they definitely catch fish there is no doubt about that. the problem is that guys would use them in lakes they are banned in and some would get away or be dumped and end up taking over a lake to the point the game and fish would have to come in and kill off the lake and start over. Between...

    Who is in favor of slot limits

    All over the place on ANS what rock have you been under? They can educate all day long and did and still do with signs at every lake and river every regulations book in the local magazines and their website but people will still do it! What the hell do you expect them to do pull people in and...

    Who is in favor of slot limits

    That will never happen. Since they banned them they have seen almost a complete stop to new lakes getting invaded by them and there is no way they give that up.

    Wind

    Just be glad you were on a lake instead out here on the river. Only had a boat loose it's big motor completely once and luckily we were upstream from the ramp. Did get a laugh though when we gosted into the ramp in the pitch black with no lights and scared the living shit out of an unsuspecting...

    I won't bitch about snow coming with the wind because it's a hell of alot better then flames coming with it. Does suck that it looks windy most of the next two weeks though.

    2016 Fishing Waters Report

    Are there fish in it? Lakes are dropped from the list all the time but normally it's because of it being unsuitable for fish.

    2016 Fishing Waters Report

    Every lake they stock successfully is on this and has been for years nothing new here! What do you expect them to stock and try and keep it secret?

    Hehn-Schaffer walleye help??

    First thing I would do is try to figure out if there are any culverts through the road. If you can find them they likely will be holding fish. Looks to be several lakes in the immediate area so don't limit your self to much.

    Missouri river snow pack feed?

    It was this low last year and most years before that. And expanded version of what Allen posted to show as far back as it shows. Obviously 2009 wins the contest for lowest level.

    Wind

    MT has some windy spots but the state as a whole is a ways down the list when put up against ND, SD and NE. Great Falls gets right in the sweet spot where the wind gets pitched against the Rockies making it insanely windy at times. Same holds true for most of the passes although I don't really...

    Wind

    It's the joys of living between two different air masses and the never ending battle between them. It's the norm for a continental poler area and then add in the lack of hills or trees to break it up you end up with us being in a damn wind tunnel.
