[QUOTE="KDM, post: 483181, member: 314"] I've fished the Sheyenne and VC area for close to 50 years. I don't give this advice often, but kids need action to keep them involved. WAIT! The Sheyenne takes some skill to fish effectively and if you are as new as you say, you may endure more frustration than you and your son want. My advice. Watch Clausen Springs ice cover. It's LOADED with bluegills that will keep you and your son busy for hours once the ice comes off. The bobber/worm combo is absolute gold down there. And you may even get enough 8-9 inchers for a good fish fry. If you just have to wet a line, head up baldhill dam way. There is a bridge you have to cross to get to the dam that has a parking lot on the north side of the bridge that you can park on. A quick google map search will show you the spot. Fish downstream of the bridge with a slip sinker, swivel, 12 inch leader of line, and a small bait holder hook with a minnow. Cast out and let it sit. Early spring you can find perch, northerns, walleyes, and the occaisional smallmouth. It's NOT fast fishing and it's usually muddy as all get out. Again, I would wait until warmer weather and the bluegill bite. Better to keep you and your boy enthusiastic by being successful than just being cold, wet, muddy, and dissapointed. Then, late May to June, send me a PM and I will show you how to fish a jig and where you and your boy can catch walleyes with above average frequency. I know a few spots. (Grin) Good Luck!! [/QUOTE]
