On Thursday, June 25, the Babe Ruth Black Sox faced off with Rugby at Legion Ball Park. Rugby got off to a hot start and didn’t let up as they dominated both sides with quick succession on the field and methodical turns at the plate with almost three times less pitches than the Black Sox. At times the Black Sox showed great playmaking and decisions. Other times it felt like there wasn’t much chemistry between teammates. Multiple dropped balls, overthrown passes and lack of communication wer...

Todd Duchscherer has always loved racing. Growing up he and his brother Troy spent many nights at the Jamestown Speedway dirt track, watching Don Gumke race. Gumke was a Jamestown native well known in the area circuit to whom many have attributed their desire to begin racing careers, including Todd. Although young Todd was infatuated with thoughts of getting onto the track, his life's experiences led him down a different path. After high school, he attended Valley City State University for two...

Growing up in the upper Midwest taught me to relish the warmth of summer. Sometimes those stretches of 90-degree days spanned just a week or two in August. Other summers, the warmth seemed to highlight the entire 12 weeks we were out of school. In between backyard kickball games, neighborhood-wide all-day water gun fights and kick the can contests at dark, canoe treks up the river and fishing for bullheads from its banks. As angling became more of the focus in my life, we'd seek out the shade...
North Dakota’s spring pheasant population index is up 15% from the same time last year, according to the state Game and Fish Department’s 2020 spring crowing count survey. Upland game management biologist R.J. Gross said the number of roosters heard crowing this spring was up statewide, with increases ranging from 1% to 18% in the primary regions holding pheasants. “We entered spring with a larger breeding population compared to last year,” Gross said. “Hens should be in good physical shape for nesting season and cover should be plentiful...

For many, the Independence Day holiday weekend represents a great time to get on the water. Whether it's cruising in the warmth of the afternoon or anchoring up and watching the fireworks display reflecting off the surface of a favorite lake in the evening, the water goes hand-in-hand with the mid- summer holiday. With a three-day weekend on tap for many, fishing is also something to add to that list, but the added challenge of a busy water can hinder successful angling. However, with the right...
Gaudy. Ugly. Fish-Catching. These terms for one of the foremost smallmouth flies may seem divergent, but they all hit the spot for the Tequeely, a combination of kindergarten art project and scrapped experimental woolly bugger borne from a night of drunk tying along with a little bit of rubber thrown in for good measure. Regardless of its appearance, the Tequeely dominates smallmouth in spring and summer. Who really knows what it looks like under the water to these protective predators this...
