The arrival of the pasque flower (pulsatilla vulgari) is one of the most telling signs that spring has arrived on the prairie. But why stop there? Signs are all around us! Just look at the new growth on trees, the greening grass on the lawn, and dandelions bringing a splash of color to our lives. The song birds get busy well before dawn. From the rhubarb shoots to the lilac bushes, new growth is all around. Soon the grass on the prairie will be thick, and so will the ticks. May we continue to...
On Jan. 27, 1904, a “dynamite cartridge” exploded and sent a piece deep into Willie Christ’s left eye. After Dr. MacLachlan examined the eye, he recommended sending the young man to Dr. Archibald, an eye specialist in St. Paul. That afternoon, Anton Haas accompanied him to St. Paul, since Willie’s father was visiting in South Dakota. By March 5, the boy had had six pieces of the cartridge removed from the eye and Archibald had “strong hopes” of saving the boy’s eyesight. On Jan. 28, John McCr...

Historically, and in our time, many of the great political and legal issues that have enveloped the nation have lain at the...

Amidst all the discussion of global warming, climate change, and pollution on a level so great that a second landmass made of plastic floating in the Pacific Ocean can be seen from outer space, it’s the smaller areas where I encounter garbage that stick with me each spring. After a winter under ice, and snow-covered shorelines opening up to spring anglers, the water is where our impact – hopefully not so much as fishermen, as I like to think we have a special connection with the water, but as...

A classic lure that can be customized for all species from trout, to smallmouth bass, to pike and muskies is the inline spinner. From options with blades as big as a fingernail to those that would cover the palm of a hand, the pulse of a turning blade, and a hook that can be dressed in flash, fur, feat...
