    30000cfs ???

    While I am sure you have heard this before, the dams were not built with Flood Control as their exclusive purpose. It is a balancing act and if a person (Corps) were to pro-actively plan for a flood the size of the 2011 event, they would have to start in October/November. And then when the...

    30000cfs ???

    Err, huh? That one rain you speak of would be of Biblical proportions. Remember, it took 4-6 weeks of repetitive rains in 2011 to push the Missouri to the levels eventually reached, even after having a well above normal plains and mountain snowpack. Some places in MT received more rain in...

    Eagle took my pike

    Damn thief! Then again, I used to have golden eagles swoop in and steal my grouse when I was a kid. Pretty cool when you're 13.

    First 90 Kangaroos Released In Wyoming

    Hey now, I've actually seen a ptarmigan in the NW part of the state. By the time I figured out what it was and that it was on unposted land, I lost track of it. That was back around 1993.

    Damn that's allot of snow.

    I have a lot of trees that suffered this winter. Pines, willow, plums, and chokecherry all took an ass-whooping from the snow and wind this winter.

    On years when Sak gets a later than normal rise and floods the sweet clover, OMG!

    Spinners

    Duckslayer, 1.5 to 2.5 oz bottom bouncers on your two lines closest to the boat, the angle of your fishing line should be pretty steep, like diving into the water at a 60 degree angle or better. 5/8 to 1 oz bottom bouncers for your lines going farther back behind the boat, on these the line...

    Ram mount for trolling motor

    This question has come up before, about whether or not they are even a good idea. I am FIRMLY in the camp of they are not needed, and indeed are even bad for the motor if you don't have a reasonable expectation that it bounces enough for the motor head to whack your gunnel. Think of it this...

    1 year fishing licenses?

    Change does not always equal progress. If there was some great societal need or social injustice, I'd be on board. However, in the grand scheme of life, don't we have something more important to tackle? For example, there's the time honored question of: Blondes, brunettes, redheads, or...

    Yes, seriously.

    1 year fishing licenses?

    I would envision a lot more "fishing without a valid license" tickets if there were 365 possible days for mine to expire. As it stands now, there's a set date that someone should know if they've bee fishing for more than a couple of years in ND.

    Trade or Sell Yourself?

    All depends on what your time is worth to you. People tend to rarely get NADA value for resale when they sell it themselves, the ads always try to stress how much below NADA they are offering it for sale. So if NADA thinks it's worth up to $8k on private sale, the best way to actually sell it...

    Sioux hockey starts now!!!

    While it's never easy, I kind of like UND's chances here with the first round in Fargo. That's as close to homefield advantage and may have made just enough difference in the last meeting between UND and UMD. BU has been a pain in UND's side at times, but again...this will be as close to home...

    River around and south of Bismarck?

    He's a hearty soul, and a hell of an angler who seems to put fish in the boat when others struggle.

    River around and south of Bismarck?

    Under the right conditions, which we should be seeing over the coming days. River ice can disappear at a rate of about 3-4 river miles a day.

    Mission Accomplished Sir!!!!

    Congrats KDM, anytime you are out in the Bismarck area...let me know. We'll see if we can't find something a little better than Busch Light. Life's too short to not experiment with a few new beers every now and then.

    River around and south of Bismarck?

    I was at Merriwethers on Monday. Ice was still on the ramp but city(?) workers were down there doing some maintenance to the dock in preparations for getting it launched. I'd be surprised if the ice hasn't been pushed off by now. Fox Island is indeed open, I know one of the guys who has...
