While preparing for the upcoming salmon season, and tying a few extra spinners for summer walleye trolling, my fingers began to find the smoothest of patterns on the various rigs coming together at my desk. The turns and twists of line around the metal of the hook shank and gentle tug that snugged the loops of monofilament into a cylinder of solidarity against the hook eye became a seven-second symphony, replayed over and over and over. With hardly a missed beat, a couple dozen new flasher rigs...
The walleye bite at times is absolutely insane for both numbers and quality fish on Lake Sakakawea this past week, with overall fishing success continuing to be good. Walleyes on most days have been trending deeper in the 16-to-20-foot range, but if wind and water clarity are right fish can still be had up shallow, in depths under 10 feet, but don't overlook that 20-to-30-foot range either. The bulk of the fish throughout the lake (east to west) are crushing slow death rigs and propeller rigs ba...
Catfishing continues to be good on the Red River in and around Grand Forks but has slowed some over the past week.

They seem to be liking the slower currents in the morning and then moving into the fast...

Among all the contests we held – paddle boat races, sand fights, pick-up football games that spanned the front lawns of four cabins – those where we seemingly threw ourselves to the mercy of gravity and surface tension in our efforts to make the best belly flops were the most memorable.
