As expected, on Monday, Sept. 12, the New Rockford-Sheyenne school board was presented with two amendments for a proposed football co-op agreement between NR-S and Maddock Public School. The agreement originally stated the team’s name would remain unchanged. However, following further discussion by the Maddock school board and community, a request was made to amend the name to, “New Rockford-Sheyenne-Maddock Rockets.” Discussion of the name change on Sept. 12 was relatively brief, as the room...
The New Rockford-Sheyenne junior high/junior varsity football teams hosted the Nelson County Chargers on Monday, Sept. 12 for their last home game of the season. The junior high team kicked off the game in high gear, with a touchdown from NR-S running back, Sawyer Huso. But this wasn't the only time fans heard the name "Sawyer Huso." Huso proceeded to score two more touchdowns for the Rockets. His speed and small stature aided in most, if not all, of these touchdowns. Huso was able to slip...

The rolling hills around Big Detroit Lake in western Minnesota typically kick off my autumn, but it isn't the scattering of ruffed grouse in its surrounding woods that elicit my echoing footfalls and that of hundreds of others on the weekend after Labor Day. Instead, the woodland birds, whose Minnesota opener is still a week off, have it easy for at least another seven days as I hit the pavement surrounding the water in the crisp, clear morning air of early September for the annual Dick...
There is a lot of transition happening on Devils Lake right now, and I’m guessing this is the story for most of our waters in North Dakota. It’s just that time of year! Water temperatures fall at night and warm during the day. Weed growth begins to die off, and lots of food becomes available. I will say this from the last week on the water, Devils Lake’s future is super bright! Record hatches of pretty much everything that swims took place this spring with the rising water. Lots of fresh new t...
What a difference few cool nights can make in the catfish bite on the Red River. It is that time of year, and when things change like this, the fish can get moody. The cold fronts bring the water temperatures down and that can shock the fish in the short term. A few days ago, the pattern took a major turn because of the change in the weather, and we have had to move off current and sit on the fish to get them to bite. "Off current" means finding the same holes as we were but setting up on the...
The next few weeks present a unique overlap of just about everything as September turns into October. From summer festivities and back to school activities, to baseball, football, and even a hint of pre-season basketball and hockey intersecting, it's an exciting time for everyone, but especially hunters and anglers. This month and into the next often offers up the chance to make the most of the outdoors, with a combination of hunting and fishing opportunities that can be tacked together in a...
