[QUOTE="frozen4sioux, post: 296075, member: 1293"] The MVFF died a few years back, too many just wanted constant programing and only a few actually helped. This is a great time of the year to flyfish, and literally almost anywhere. Pike, walleye, trout all eagerly eating and not very deep. Usually you will find a need for some sinking type lines to get a bit deeper. (The importance of a uniform sink type line versus a sinking tip is a factor in stillwater lake fishing) Wooly buggers in olive, black, copper, white, nymphs in black, those do well. You can catch pike anywhere from the tailrace to the little cottonwood pond down at the soccer fields. 5 weight can work but its going to be much better with an eight weight. Alkaline for walleyes is always fun this time of year, decievers in various colors and other streamers work very well. A 5 weight is fine as the walleye fight like a worn out sock compared to the pike, trout, and smallies... the later two are both available in many of the small lakes around the central part of the state. Its not glamourous but if you want to work on you technical presentation and skillset for fishing more precision situations.... carp fishing in the backwaters of the missouri around the parks in Bismarck is a great adventure, little bead head olive hares ear nymphs work well but the approach to the water the cast, presentation need to be smooth and accurate. very good for the skillsets. Learning to cast in the wind is a good idea and basically the only option on the prairie. For more stop in to Dakota Tackle in Bis, they have some hand tied flies from a few locals but also anything else you need, they can even point you to a few individuals who can help with casting, seriously there are some master class flycasters and tyers in the area. Some do lessons if they have time. [/QUOTE]
