    Well this is going to get interesting

    If I lived anywhere close to one of these "free" sites I'd consider putting trail cams out and lock and load.

    Question of Devils Lake elevation pits farming versus fishing

    No answer for sure lunk but interesting point , Devils Lake has more current than any other closed basin lake I remember fishing. I was thinking about this a couple weeks ago when I was fishing it and watching my bobbers going back and forth across the hole but seldom down the hole. The...

    Question of Devils Lake elevation pits farming versus fishing

    Yea it's a cool old map, I'm pretty sure there is another one from the very late 60s or early 70s . I have a big wall map/photo of the farm from that era. The 57-62 map is sketchy around some of the water areas like it is overlay or double exposure, Not sure what/why that is. - - -...

    Question of Devils Lake elevation pits farming versus fishing

    I wonder what the salt content is now days ? Has to be way less with the big flush but I suppose with all the water to soil contact area it picks it up ?? I shouldn't have started reading and thinking about this , It's turning into a mystery, One that is still in the making. One of the...

    Question of Devils Lake elevation pits farming versus fishing

    One thing I used to wonder about is how much water the aquifer took on, There had to be a lot of water wells that never got plugged. There was a mad rush to plug wells when the lake was still rising but it was too late to get to them. Some up towards Cando were pugged in the winter when the...

    Question of Devils Lake elevation pits farming versus fishing

    I stumbled across this map, It's a treasure. I'm amazed at the quality based on the time period it was made and considering pictures were developed in a darkroom back then. It must have taken 5 years to photograph the state from 1957-1962 Fun looking at the changes that have occurred over...

    Question of Devils Lake elevation pits farming versus fishing

    WOW It would be fun to dig out some of my old hydrology books and compare back then to now , I drilled an industrial well at Walhalla a few years ago that pumps 250 GPM 24/7 .

    Question of Devils Lake elevation pits farming versus fishing

    That's the strange thing about the whole deal, What is "normal" ? We had an old neighbor when I was growing up who was quite the fisherman and he used to talk about how low Devils lake was and told me how the town of Churches ferry got it's name . At the time I couldn't imagine a ferry...

    Trespass Bill

    I agree 100% with the body cameras Dean and I'm sure a lot of footage does exist but I don't agree that it was the cops holding the line that were stupid, Someone was making the decisions around there but it wasn't them. Put yourself in their shoes out in the elements with a bunch of up...

    Trespass Bill

    Not so sure it was the cops that were stupid , They were probably more like puppets on a string that were told what to say and do.

    Perch/Panfish Bobber Boards

    If need be I just grab what ever is handy and put another small bobber above the main bobber so I can see it . set the second bobber with just enough line that if the main bobber wiggles it will pull second bobber off. I usually just use the long foam bobbers and shovel the snow away...

    What I finally found was it cost $ 330.000 per month in electricity to run the pumps and it will supposedly draw down the lake 1 inch a month. I don't want that someone to think I bitch and whine about everything but doesn't this seem to be throwing good money after bad money ? I didn't...
