    Tagged Walleye Slow Growth Rate

    I've noticed that too in the tagged fish I've caught. One even measured an inch shorter than when it was banded so I don't know how carefully they measure them. I know the last couple I've reported they don't even ask the size and I don't think that's a focus of the study...

    Reel and Rec tounanment Weights? 5/21/16

    20 would be an incredible weight for 6 fish right now.

    ND fishing lodge. Profit or bust?

    It would definitely change the outdoor experience for a person. As a guide I talked to in MN once said "it's not like I fish for fun on my days off anymore."

    ND fishing lodge. Profit or bust?

    Definitely would be tough to make a go of it on Sak with the boom/bust nature as has been mentioned. Would have to absolutely love it because work would pretty much be your life about no matter where you do it.

    Catch and Release Tourneys

    They definitely used to. Haven't been to a weigh in for probably >10 years though, may have changed. Can't imagine the survival rate was great in late July/August.

    2016 spring Big Muddy

    5.9 I think. Seems as though I had heard of a decent number of fish 26"+ this spring so I figured someone would get one 7 lbs+.

    2016 spring Big Muddy

    Thought the winning weight would have been a little better.

    Snow Pack and Lake Sakakawea Levels

    I saw the video from the GNF about Oahe crappies that mentions quite a few of the things Dean mentions about year classes, and that most of the time they have a hard time making it through the winter. I can't remember if they said why that is exactly. They do well in northern MN and Ontario...

    Big Muddy Predictions

    I might have to revise my prediction...river is up and dirty, I think it might be tough going, although I'm sure someone will still get some decent ones. Gonna be some struggles though

    Big Muddy Predictions

    I'm sure someone will put together a ~5 pound average on 6 fish, but I doubt there will be a lot of teams above 20...

    Ditch Ducks

    Have seen geese & ducks land on rooftops a few times in the Twin Cities. Saw a pair of geese land in a tree along the Missouri a couple times a few years ago.

    Ditch Ducks

    Was out in my yard a couple evenings ago and heard a wood duck call. Sure enough, looked up in the big elm tree in my yard and had a pair of them sitting there. I live about half a mile SE of the capitol building in Bismarck, can't think of any real water near me so that was different.

    finally

    But still plenty of guides up there, gotta wonder how much goes on under the table? No doubt ND ain't what it used to be just 15 years ago in regards to land access.

    Trailer Tires

    I've had my used boat for 6 years and the tires weren't new at that time. I've read some things that you should change the trailer tires out about every 6-7 years regardless of use and whether or not it's been stored inside. Do you find that to be accurate? What brand of tires do you like for...

    Hummingbird Helix Questions

    Pretty much a Ford vs. Chevy debate. Walleye Central's electronics forum has hundreds of threads on this, worth checking out.

    2016 Fishing Waters Report

    If this drought lasts a couple years many of the lakes on there will be in trouble so might as well go catch fish while we can!

    Rainy River 2016

    Wow, thought they'd be in the thick of it by now but the reports I looked at sounded bleak. Their forecast doesn't look good...highs in the 30s lows in the teens & 20s. Amazing how much different their weather is than ours in Bismarck. Went up there twice when I was in college at UND about 10...
