by Doug Leier Like a lot of people, I'm often guilty of following a routine. That's particularly true when it comes to choosing fishing spots. Year after year I can fish the same lakes, recall past visits, and assess the current state - whether the water is up or down, or whether there are...

by Doug Leier I'm pretty certain my wife and kids tire of my stories from "back in the day" or "how things used to be." More often than not, it's a discussion about how technology and electronic advances keep people from getting outside, or the capability to visit with new "friends" while...

by Bob Jensen During the course of a fishing season, I get to fish a lot of different lakes, rivers, and reservoirs. Some lakes go through changes, some good, some not so good. This past year I had the opportunity to fish several bodies of water that have changed some since the last time I...

By Doug Leier Seldom does a week pass without news, political or biological, relating to declining water levels in North Dakota's huge Missouri River reservoirs. I wonder if people have heard the message so much they are starting to become numb to it. And yet, the message is important. Lake...

By Doug Leier Like night and day. Comparing apples to oranges. Pick your cliché that refers to contrasting situations, and apply it to North Dakota's two largest bodies of water, Lake Sakakawea and Devils Lake. Sakakawea, a reservoir on the Missouri River, is at its lowest water level since...
