    You haven't read the tagging study yet have you! We send far more fish into SD then they send to us 59% vs 33% split.. Sak is getting stocked because it does not do as well as oahe does on producing it's own fish. Lower oahe has the same problem thus why sodak has stocked down by the dam far...

    As it happens one of my buddys was out there last week. Would love to see the face of the people at the cleaning table when they showed up. Out there this is the norm like 20 inchave were oahe back a few years ago.

    This right here will make far more of an impact on lake oahe fish numbers then guys keeping big ones. That's a big chunk of water that will flow straight to oahe as well as a big shot to sak.

    Then I suggest they go up to the big windy in July and tell us how many fish they catch then. That's thing guys like to ignore about trophy Fisheries is that they tend to suck for catching numbers. Don't expect to go to the Columbia River and catch 60 fish a day. In most cases you have either...

    Because you don't stock a lake that produces more then it can handle on its own.

    And over all lack of understanding on how the system works and the sheer number of fish that are down there. Most people don't normally have a clue just how many fish there are in a body of water until it winter killes then they stand there in spring scratching their head looking at thousands of...

    How about we manage it try to keep them alive first. If we didn't flush the fish through the dam we would have a trophy lake more then it already is. But you do realize having the most walleyes in the lake does not equate to having trophy walleyes in the lake they actually tend to work against...

    It doesn't work that way and what planet have you been on over the last few years? Please tell me your new to the area because if you have been here for years and still know so little about this system is almost criminal. This lake has a huge problem with over producing predators and loosing...

    What do you say let's do the math. A large walleye can produce up to a half million eggs. Now let's say their survival rate is 1% so meaning 99% of them die before having a chance to reproduce. So we're looking at needing to see if we can somehow scrounge up 10 or 12 eyes to cover your whopping...

    Same thing in 94,95,96 and 97! Back in 96 I think it was i counted over 200 boats between expressway and main street bridges. A guy could have damn near walked from Mandan to Bismarck across the boats. Go look up population studies and fishing pressure surveys and educate yourself on it for...

    Of good lord you have got to be kidding me!;:;blahblah this river has been hit like this for DECADES! The river and oahe have only one problem when it comes to reproduction and that is it tends to produce to many walleyes. The fishing per acre of water on both lake and river is so small it crazy...

    Spring Snows

    Saw a few big waves getting up south west of me when I was up by Davis wpa this afternoon. Not totally sure where they were coming from but it was somewhere in the O'Brian lake area. I was a little surprised there were still those kind of numbers around.

    Using leaders for cranks?

    True but I don't ever want to get to the point that loosing the leader costs me more then loosing the lure!

    storm live kicking shad

    Picked up a few of these from scheels in the three and five inch size because they had them for cheep. Not sure about the five inch size but the three inch is the biggest piece of crap I have ever seen. All it does is roll on its side and the tail has literally zero movement. They might work as...

    Using leaders for cranks?

    Yeah I've used that stuff and tying a knot in it is a pain in the ass especially if you get a small crimp in the line. As for pike the state needs to knock it the hell off! I'm sick of having to donate tackle every time out or arrmor up my line undoubtedly costing me fish. Plus the fact pike are...

    Booyah rig

    That's the thing I think the pics might be a little misleading on its true size. In reality this thing is a bit smaller then a normal bass spinner bait. The blades are only about one inch long.
