  • Our Outdoors: Midsummer Signs

    Nick Simonson|Aug 8, 2022

    About this time of year, the young loons on the calm morning water of the lake begin to become more apparent. Half feathered and not quite yet the sleek black-and-white of their parents, they flex their independence or congregate in hangouts in front of the dock which rival teenagers getting together on a Friday night. Not long from now, usually before Labor Day, their parents will take off for warmer climates, leaving the last of the youngsters to mature, group up, and follow suit a week or...

  • Spinner Selection Key on DL Now

    Mike Peluso|Aug 8, 2022

    The walleye fishing has been good on Devils Lake this past week! Bug hatches, tons of new food like baby perch and white bass, and lots of freshwater shrimp, give fish plenty to eat, yet the walleyes on Devils Lake just continue to bite! What's working?

In my opinion if you want to put fish in the boat pull a bottom bouncer and a spinner tipped with crawlers. For me it's been a rotation of spinner...

    Brad Durick|Aug 8, 2022

    The big news this week for catfish anglers on the Red River is that both boat ramps in Drayton are open. That means that all ramps on the Red River are now open and usable. Fishing this week has shifted to a full-on summer pattern. The fish are spread out and doing their summer catfish thing. They are sticking to holes that are near both faster and slower water. Depending on the day and weather is what side of the hole you will find them. Sit times have been a day to day thing. One day the bites will come very fast and the next it takes 20 to 3...

  • Unsnagged

    Nick Simonson|Aug 8, 2022

    There are many good adages that come from and apply to angling. From wind from the north, don't venture forth to ninety percent of the fish inhabit ten percent of the water, big and little lessons alike are summed up in quick catchphrases that are easy to remember and applicable in most angling scenarios. Of all of them, my favorite is: if you aren't snagging, you aren't bragging. Taking the idea that most fish relate well to structure and look for cover and food in some of the craggiest, woodie...
