At school, I’ve been learning about the water cycle and I realized there is a bit of snowmelt going on. This was especially clear when I took a walk on an unusually warm winter day. I paid extra attention to the water that was melting from the winter’s snow. The water was all going somewhere, but I wasn’t sure where. As I pondered many of my ideas, I decided to interview the City of New Rockford Public Works Superintendent Bruce Hirchert to learn more about what it takes to manage snow and snowm...

In that moment to begin the first open water foray, the weight of a jig and twister suspended in the air of a back...
While winter and spring aren't often associated with hunting in the upper Midwest, the months of January through May are an important time in the lives of young hunters as the bulk of hunter education courses are offered to those looking to get licensed in time for next fall's seasons. With the help of hundreds of volunteer instructors throughout the state, agents of the North Dakota Game & Fish Department (NDG&F), like Hunter Education Supervisor John Mazur, look to provide participants not...
If it's fly tying season and you're thinking spring is coming outdoors, you've got to be thinking summer when it comes to finishing off your patterns. The later stretches of the cold weather season often reflect the planning for the latter stages in the warm water season, and tying projects often revolve around those bigger bites and more aggressive patterns that are employed in summer for trout and panfish.
