    Eagle Claw inline reels. Product REVIEW

    Reels that don't meet the minimum of expectations are the devil's product. Hope you get it figured out.

    Nickel cases?

    I have reloaded several hundred nickel plated cases in 7 mm Rem Mag and 25-06. No issues with flaking of the nickel, and I probably got a solid 3 reloads out of the cases on average before the necks started to crack. Which is maybe a single reload or so less than I see out of the solid brass...

    Lake george kidder county

    One thing is for sure, with it being that salty, acquiring a few leeches while swimming shouldn't happen. I fricking hate those things.

    Use of Sucker Minnows in ND

    I really miss being able to fish Sakakawea with suckers. They were awesome, and readily available in our stock dam.

    Odd weather

    I fail to see what is odd about ND weather going from one extreme to another, that's just how we roll.

    Bill being introduced to allow Pink

    If your buddy is wearing camo orange and there's not enough for you to pick him out (EASILY!) as he's walking a draw out in the Badlands at 800 yds, then he just isn't visible enough. I mean, I get it...there's hi-vis orange one can pick out with just a hat on their head, but I've also seen...

    Audubon

    sierra1995, That's a good point. In general, I like to park over deep water and drill my way up onto the top of a hump (or as we often incorrectly refer to them, sunken islands). The safest ice "should" be over the deeper water. A mapping unit with depth contours is a very valuable tool in...

    Lake george kidder county

    I am not at all familiar with Lake George's specific construction. That article said it was from "thrusting of ice" during the last glaciation, which suggests it is essentially a divot on the Earth's surface. Oddly enough, if I remember correctly, that's how Devils Lake was formed. Sully's...

    Audubon

    Guy has already noted some of it. In general, there is groundwater flow into the area around the pumping plant. Probably more important on the Sakakawea side. Anyway, like Guy mentioned, slight changes in water temps keeps the water moving, even if it's not that perceptible to the fisherman...

    Audubon

    As a general rule, Audubon has some of the scariest ice in the state even during the coldest of winters. Mostly due to convective currents under the ice. I'd be leary of taking my 1500 lb SxS out on Audubon to explore where others haven't already been. However, I haven't been up there this...

    Ice Fishing MYTHS that never die.

    ORCUS DEMENS, Now there is a great example of where reservoirs get lowered a bunch in the winter time. Small to mediums sized reservoirs primarily built for water supply are often lowered by 20 ft, or more during the course of the year and much of that can occur in the winter.

    Ice Fishing MYTHS that never die.

    Wait, what six speed tranny? My 2014 Pioneer 700 is only 3. It'd be awesome to have a few more gears to go through. Damnit... Oh yeah, and I don't have Guy's coinage, so mine is pretty much stock.

    Ice Fishing MYTHS that never die.

    It's tough to imagine any ND river freezing in 5+ ft above it's mid-winter flow levels, maybe the James did last year. So I would hazard a guess that was a pool on some stream in a faraway locale. It would certainly be a scary deal though.

    Ice Fishing MYTHS that never die.

    While ice does indeed float, there's also what's called ice bridging. Basically, it happens when a reservoir is lowered after ice cover is developed, the ice in the middle of the lake is floating on top of the water, but as you get close to shore, thick ice will sometimes "bridge" from the...

    Ahh, you're thinking this is a meth byproduct. That puts a whole new twist into the subject.

    Does anyone here target carp?

    I'm going to hazard a guess it's kinda like Lycanthrope's avatar.

    Yeah, as odd as it may seem...lots of ND anglers and outdoorsy types just don't visit nodakangler. I also must commend you on putting forth a solid effort to get someone else's property back to them. THanks!

    Does anyone here target carp?

    Audubon has by far the largest average European Carp I know of in the state. - - - Updated - - - Whether one likes them, or not, at least the Buffalo are native to our waters. Unlike carp and smallies.

    Easy winter

    and These are the official long-range outlooks issued by the Climate Prediction Center. They have been calling for a cool and wet winter for our area since early last fall, I think it's mostly due to the La Nina pattern in place out in the Pacific. While the early expectation was that Dec...
