    Natives gill netting~

    Why is it you never seem to hear of major walleye fisheries that don't have commercial fishing collapsing, yet we have seen it time and time again in fisheries that are subject to commercial netting? We've seen it at Red lake, Mille lacs, and soon to be Winnipeg. Yet in a place like ND with no...

    Fishing access fenced off...

    Because the Desert is a designated ATV area. There are plenty of sandbars that are off limits.

    Natives gill netting~

    On a side note, i like to encourage anybody i know to never order walleye at a restaurant, or buy it at a supermarket. Without a market for the fish there is no need to net it. Just tell them that most of the Walleye on the US market (around 70% I believe) comes from Lake Winnipeg which is...

    Natives gill netting~

    I don't think there is any legal netting of game fish in ND or am i wrong? I know there was a net snagged and pulled up last year by some fisherman though, with a bunch of walleye.

Just make it about a $500 fine for riding off trail or in restricted areas.

    Non-resident fishing license

    The states east of us are all right around $50, the states west of us are all right around $100. i say we split the difference and go to $75:) Most states you can buy by the day as well, I'm going to ID this summer for 4 days and the license is only like $35. I'm pretty sure my Manitoba license...

    Poor Smelts - Water warming up to quickly

    Yeah there were dead smelt everywhere from McKenzie to skunk. Even the seagulls and pelicans were full and just didn’t seem to care anymore about the thousands of easy meals. Walleye were jam packed with smelt as well.

    Sunglasses!

    Smith makes some great fishing specific glasses. I have glass and plastic lenses and I do like the clarity of glass a bit better, but they are heavier, so I find myself wearing plastic a bit more.

    Lake sakakawea water levels

    What’s your defention of flood control? I’d say 1 flood in 65 years that didn’t break the top 20 record crest is pretty f’n good. Also your 15’ claim is meaningless without water volume, takes much less to raise 15’ at lower levels...

    Lake sakakawea water levels

    It’s predicted to go up 4 more feet to 1849, I’m predicting 1850 unless they really up the flows out. They did up them today and I think they are going to about 40,000cfs by end of month. The MT runoff is just starting to hit, a lot of water to come yet, if they start getting a bunch of rain...

    best NEW walleye fishing boat...

    Can get a brand new Skeeter 1910 for 50K, can get plenty of other new 18-19' w/200hp boats as well, If you want bigger you may have to go a few years used. Decide if you want tin or sparkles and go from there. https://www.rivercityboats.com/inventory/2018-skeeter-wx1910-bismarck-nd-58501-2271920i

    Lakewood entrance - mandan

    Borden Harbor road goes back into Lakewood. There is that other little inlet between Lakewood and Marina Bay, maybe that little inlet is actually called Borden Harbor? Not sure on that one.

    Boat insurance

    Ins on a boat like that is dirt cheap, its pretty stupid to risk everything you have to save $50 a year.

    Sweet Jebus

    I dont think that will be going on any walleye boats anytime soon. I don't think you can even put the yammy 350 on the walleye boats currently.

    Lakewood entrance - mandan

    I don't think it was really "put in the river". There was some serious erosion during the flood, before that it was basically a normal point that was always above water, and there was a little inlet to the north of it. The whole thing eroded leaving a rock jetti sticking out into the river. Go...

    AIM On Devils Lake

    The rules you describe sound like what MLF does correct? I actually don't like that format, IMO it encourages guys to just go out and catch a bunch of smaller active fish. When you limit them to a certain number then guys have to go find the bigger bites.

    Trespasser~

    If people could keep their mouth shut it might be that easy, but we all know people have to brag and eventually they brag to the wrong person. Or in today's world they video it and post it on social media! ;:;badidea
