And just like that, basketball season is back. The New Rockford-Sheyenne varsity and junior varsity teams traveled southwest to Napoleon to take on the Napoleon/Gackle-Streeter Imperials in their season opener. The junior varsity team started off the night, falling short 22-34. Lead scorers for the game were Lora Wobbema and Emmie Belquist, each with six points. The varsity game, however, was the complete opposite turnout. The Rockets came out ready to play. NR-S freshman, Ava Peterson, scored t...

While shooting the breeze in between rounds of trap this fall, one shooter explained his use of livescope sonar under the ice last season to pick off schools of perch on a favorite water we both shared throughout much of our winter fishing time. He'd simply drill the holes, drop the transducer, spin it around and find the pods of roving perch in the basin. Then he'd move in the general direction of the school, punch another hole, and catch a handful before they moved on, repeating the process...
People are venturing out on the small ponds and a few areas up here on and around Devils Lake already. The ice isn't great, but we are seeing 3 to 6 inches of it. The further north we go, the more ice we are seeing. One of the problems we are dealing with and are going to see early on especially up here on Devils Lake is that the water is pretty dirty from all the wind we had prior to the lake freezing over. This usually slows the bite down right away. Our sunlight is limited the way it is and...
