  • Our Outdoors: Sweating it

    Nick Simonson|Jun 27, 2022

    Two months ago today, it snowed and snowed and snowed; and it wasn’t just for a day, but for nearly four straight days that the skies remained gray under a stalled low-pressure system, where the wind howled, and drifts of ten feet in depth – that blocked traffic into and out of my neighborhood for nearly a week – were left in the wake of the continuous northwest gusts. That was the start of our so-called spring. This weekend’s state high school clay target league tournament on the cusp of the...

With the heat and the warming of the region's waters - the fish too move quickly and capitalizing on their chase for food that mirrors our own sprints from May graduation buffets, to Fourth of July barbecues, to Labor Day's last hurrah pig roast on the beach - is key in finding summer...

  • Brad's Bites: Catfish Spawn is On

    Brad Durick|Jun 27, 2022

    The big news this week is the ramps in the Fargo/Moorhead area are opening up. Grand Forks where I am fishing is nearly perfect for boating by my standards. All three ramps are now open.
