    Anyone Tie Flies?

    Typically, I stick my flies in the plastic console tray of my dash on a fabric "dry bag" filled with silicone and carbon that my wife buys for the house and let the defrost vent do its thing on the ride back from fishing. Seems to have worked pretty well, and I can just grab the last flies that...

    Anyone Tie Flies?

    I'm also using an 8 wt. It's a good all-purpose for both bass and pike and has enough oomph to toss bigger patterns.

    Anyone Tie Flies?

    Fantastic tie! I have found success around Bismarck on the river in spring and smaller pike lakes using Size 2 to 2/0 bunny leeches and deceivers. The Sheyenne River, especially under Baldhill dam, and the Detroit Lakes area are also great pike destinations early in the season! Bunny Leech...

    Ice conditions

    Took the boys to Harmon on Sunday for some bluegills and crappies. The middle was split about 30 yards wide with a channel of open water from the dam to the first earthen fishing pier, the rest of the lake looked sketchy, but there was one pop-up out on the south west side along the trees. We...

    Bill being introduced to allow Pink

    The bigger concern is that the bill also contains language for the allowance of camouflage orange and camouflage pink, both of which are harder to see than plain, unbroken orange or pink. That wording needs to be changed to keep things safer and more visible in the field, I can't support the...

    south dakota pheasant season extended to jan 31

    The whoring out of pheasant hunting in SD was a notable downside of 2020 in the outdoors. The GFP dropped the summer brood survey - a mere $80,000 endeavor - because the bird numbers have been off the last several years due to declining habitat. They felt that the publication of the lower...

    SB 2315 / Lockout

    Yeah, well, the electronic posting program had a 1.5% usage rate in the three trial counties. Something like 35,000 acres out of a possible 2.5 million were signed up this summer for the pilot. In any other reality than the one we live in now, that is an abject failure -- especially as hard as...

    Big Buck Book

    Hey all, just wanted to share what I did on my Corona-cation. A huge fan of the ND Hoopster growing up, I've always wanted to do a similar publication for hunting in the state, so this winter and spring I interviewed dozens of hunters and got insights from experts, biologists and more to...

    2020 Deer Drawing

    I think Covid will have slowed things down, so I'm thinking next week sometime. Hopefully Friday though, that'd be some great weekend news (assuming one gets drawn). The press release was 6/25 last year. Not that anyone's counting. :)

    SE ND Fishing

    Smallmouth on the Sheyenne...my favorite topic. Anywhere from Lisbon on up to Baldhill Dam is money for nice bronzebacks. The bite should be on this time of year on up to Memorial Day, but watch the flow out of Baldhill Dam, it's too high now (4/24, 1500cfs). When you get back in that...

    Predictions must be exact numbers to the 100th (ie: 12345.67) "19,500 and some change" is not a valid entry. ;:;rofl
