    Lake Tschida camping spot to close

    Hah hah, yes...I consider myself very familiar with the general issues at hand here. However, if someone on here has a copy of 2009 lease and a 2016 lease for comparative purposes, I think some of the confusion here would disappear. So yes, I recognize there is another level up from my...

    Getting the "SNIP"

    I knew a fella in the Marine Corps who had one of the Navy's finest do his. They still used staples back then to clamp the end of the VD tubes. As we would be working or working out, every now and then he would grimace as a staple would "catch" on something. He'd spend a few seconds adjusting...

    Lake Tschida camping spot to close

    gst, Their being able to remove the mobile homes was always a condition of the lease as far as I know, that's what has always differentiated these sites from those with permanent structures. Problem was when the shit hit the fan, not a single one of them got moved (again, that I am aware of)...

    Once the "agreement", aka a lease expires. It has no standing past it's term. These aren't 40 year leases they are changing in year 5, these are annual leases. EVERYTHING is subject to change on a new lease. And I believe you are wrong in that none of those camp sites are being closed, those...

    Catch and Release Tourneys

    The NDGF seems to be leary of having another DL event on their hands. Several years ago there was a C&R tourney on DL. After the tourney there were lots of reports of floaters, I think it was in Creel. Lot of fish didn't make it even though they swam away from the basket. That being said, I...

    Worst tasting fish

    Fish I like: Walleye of any size, although the texture gets less pleasing as they get larger. Once they're above 24 inches I tend to prefer someone else eat them, they can also be bad from warm, murky waters. Perch, but I don't like those with that little black parasite in the flesh like is so...

    Lake Tschida camping spot to close

    gst, I have indeed read the article. Personally, only thing that crossed my mind was "what a bunch of pompous asses" with respect to the editors. Under what authority do they have the right to tell anyone, or any govt agency, what they have or have not forfeited? In general I think they are...

    eating devils pike...

    Yeah, DL pike are more yellow in color than pike out of the Missouri (including Sak and Oahe). Not 100% sure why, but it seems to turn white when it comes out of the hot grease. Good eats!

    Fish Smell

    The cause of the stinkFishes smell because of a natural process of decay. Bacterial enzymes attack the flesh of the fish. This triggers an oxidation reduction reaction. The muscle of the fish contain a substance called trimethylamine oxide (TMAO) which is broken down by decomposition. The result...

    Lake Tschida camping spot to close

    gst. I am VERY familiar with Tschida and the issues present. A person can spin it as they wish, but those people are simply unhappy with the loss of their special privilege to public property. That special privilege turns $3k shithole campers into $80k "lake homes". You may be happy...

    Getting the "SNIP"

    Did you read to the end? "About Dan Q Dan Q is a software engineer, a director of a voluntary organisation, a trainee counsellor, a keen geocacher, and an amateur magician. He lives with his partner and her husband in a polyamorous triad, and occasionally finds time to blog." Sounds to me...

    Getting the "SNIP"

    Ha hah hah, sorry k9, but I literally laughed out loud when I read that! My former neighbor had it done several years ago after being done with having kids. His experience was terrible from what he shared. I think he was unable to work for a couple months as they swelled up to about the size...

    Lake Tschida camping spot to close

    The Bureau of Reclamation's biggest error at Tschida was allowing those mobile homes down in the flood pool in the first place. I don't think the downstream residents (to include Mandanites) were very excited about a 500 gallon propane tank trying to go down Heart Butte Dam's glory hole in...

    ;:;popcorn I had it done some 8+ years ago. And my #$%^&> still works just fine. It is indeed an unpleasant experience, but then again...so would having a full-time newborn around at this point in life.

    New state record paddle fish? It looks like one!

    Oh hell no! Get a good clean piece of the white meat off of a paddlefish filet, let's say 4x4 inches and an inch thick. Place on a broiler sheet with a tab of butter on top and a generous dose of lemon pepper. Bake at 350 for 25-30 minutes, then turn on the broiler to sear the top. Mmmm...
