Avian Influenza and what you need to know.  Plus snake bites have been on the rise, what you need to do in case of an emergency and records have been broken in the fishing world. Join radio hosts Rebecca Wanner aka 'BEC' and Jeff ‘Tigger' Erhardt (Tigger & BEC) with The Bend Radio Show & Podcast, your news outlet for the latest in Outdoors & Western Lifestyle News! Season 5, Episode 240 Avian Influenza:  2 Types Of Viruses  There are two types of virus: Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza (HPAI): Virus strains are extremely infectious, often fatal to domestic poultry and can spread rapidly from flock to flock. Low Pathogenicity Avian Influenza (LPAI): Virus strains occur naturally in wild migratory waterfowl and shorebirds without causing illness. LPAI can infect domestic poultry with little or no signs of illness. Avian Influenza: The Signs In Birds & Poultry Sudden, unexplained death Decline in water consumption Decreased egg production and depression in layers Purple or dry combs Quieter than normal Frequently laying down Swelling around eyes Procedures For Wild Birds The primary carriers of avian influenza A are waterfowl, gulls, terns and shorebirds. Avoid direct contact with wild birds and observe them only from a distance. Wild birds can be infected without showing symptoms of the infection. The Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) currently believes that the public health risk from the current HPAI outbreak is low. They advise avoiding direct contact with sick or dead wild birds. Individuals should also avoid transporting sick or dead birds. Do not handle dead wild birds. Avian influenza surveillance and testing in wild birds is being done by USDA APHIS Wildlife Services and North Dakota Department of Game and Fish. Please report wild sick and dead birds at https://gf.nd.gov/wildlife/diseases/mortality-report. Wild bird avian influenza questions can be directed to 701-204-2161. Reduce the attractiveness for wild birds to stop at your place by cleaning up litter and spilled feed around your domestic poultry housing. When should you move wild bird carcasses? While handling and transporting carcasses is not advised, there may be some cases where it is required to minimize transmission of HPAI and continue normal activities. This would be especially true to limit contact with domestic poultry, or if fields need to be worked in preparation for planting, etc. Handling According to the CDC: “If you must handle wild birds or sick or dead poultry, minimize direct contact by wearing gloves and wash your hands with soap and water after touching birds. If available, wear respiratory protection such as a medical facemask. Change your clothing before contact with healthy domestic poultry and birds after handling wild birds, and discard the gloves and facemask, disinfect footwear, and then wash your hands with soap and water.” Disposal It is critical that carcasses are disposed of properly to reduce the risk for transmission to domestic flocks and other wildlife. Numerous cases of mortality in eagles, hawks and owls have occurred as a result of scavenging on dead bird carcasses. For this reason, moving carcasses to new areas and discarding them on the landscape should be avoided, as this may unintentionally contribute to more cases. Acceptable disposal options for wild bird carcasses include: Move carcasses to the edge of the field. Burial is acceptable for small numbers of birds. Be sure to bury carcasses four feet above the water table with four feet of cover. If possible bury birds in clay soils. Burn carcasses. Be sure to check if you are under a burn ban prior to burning,  Dispose at an approved municipal solid waste landfill. Please contact the landfill to determine disposal protocols. Carcasses must be double bagged. Bags must be disinfected before transporting to the landfill. Be sure to use a disinfect registered for use against AI, https://www.epa.gov/pesticide-registration/antimicrobial-products-registered-disinfection-use-against-avian-influenza Following disposal be sure to disinfect the vehicle used to transport the carcasses.

In May, angler Rafal Wlazlo landed a massive 45-pound, 8-ounce Common Carp at Lake Lillinonah, making it the heaviest freshwater fish recorded in the state. According to the Connecticut Department of Energy and Environmental Protection (DEEP), Wlazlo's catch now holds the official title for the largest freshwater fish in Connecticut history. Wlazlo, owner of Carp Angler, noted that carp fishing is hugely popular in Europe and is gaining traction as a niche yet growing sport in the United States. Prior to this record-breaking carp, the largest freshwater fish on record in Connecticut included a 29-pound Channel Catfish, Lake Trout, and Northern Pike.

Along one of the best stretches of the Truckee River for fishing, a private landowner in Hirschdale has been blocking legal public access by placing no trespassing signs below the high water mark of the river. Longtime Hirschdale resident Matt “Gilligan” Koles, who's been a fly fishing guide on the Truckee River for more than two decades, has been fighting these illegally placed signs, as well as dealing with aggressive intimidation tactics involving drawn firearms by the landowner. The Truckee is considered a navigable river, meaning the public has legal access to the river below the high water mark. Nonetheless, the illegally placed signs have not moved, and the intimidation has scared most of the public away. In response, last fall, Matt and a group of fly fishing friends formed @truckeeriverpublicwaters – a 501c3 non-profit dedicated to protecting legal public access to the Truckee River. In Episode 63, the boys chat about the importance of the Truckee River, a bit of its history, a little about fishing and a lot about the access struggle community members in Hirschdale have been facing and what we as the public can do to ensure legal access is preserved. 2:00 – PowBot growing up fishing for Walleye and Northern Pike in Michigan.7:25 – Trail Whisperer growing up fishing at Cape Hatteras, North Carolina.13:00 – The importance of the Truckee River to the Reno/Tahoe region.16:45 – Truckee River public access issues are happening in Hirschdale.19:35 – The story of OTB and Deer Creek trail access issues.24:00 – Public vs private land access issues and knowing your access rights.27:35 – More reminiscing about Cape Hatteras.29:10 – Whatcha been riding?30:45 – Truckee River Trivia – the river doesn't start in Lake Tahoe, there's an Upper Truckee River.31:35 – Introducing Matt “Gilligan” Koles and Truckee River Public Waters.35:30 – Senator Newlands (Newlands Act) bought a bunch of land and diverted the Truckee River.38:45 – Matt's story moving to Hirschdale and creating Gilligan's Guide Service.43:30 – What makes the Truckee River so special for fly fishing?46:10 – Lake Lahontan and the origins of the Lahontan Cutthroat Trout – a native prehistoric fish.48:09 – Some unique facts about the Truckee River.49:45 – The Paiute Tribe of Pyramid Lake, water rights, drought and the reservoir system feeding the Truckee River.55:00 – Truckee River Public Waters – preserving public access along the Truckee River.56:30 – The current public access issues people are facing currently in Hirschdale.1:05:15 – The confusion over the “high water” mark on the Truckee River.1:19:00 – The Hirschdale bridge is the main access point for the Tahoe Pyramid Trail.1:22:00 – What should the public do regarding legal access to the river in Hirschdale?1:25:30 – What if you get harassed by a landowner?

Roger is one of the best fisherman I know! Hes the Owner of Schumann Fishing Guide Service based out of Minot North Dakota. When he called me and asked if I wanted to jump in the boat with him to go pitch jigs and place with his forward facing sonar I jumoed at the chance. Sadly, the fish werent as cooperative as they were the previous day. Fun was had anyway! The walleyes werent active but we caught enough Northern Pike and Smallmouth Bass tp keep us entertained. 

#740 Show Notes: https://wetflyswing.com/740   Presented by: Northern Rockies Adventures In this episode, we dive into the remote and wild fishing experiences offered by Northern Rockies Adventures with Daniel Schildknecht, Phil Rowley, and Lance Egan. From chasing Northern Pike, Lake Trout, and Grayling to navigating untouched rivers by float plane, this trip had it all. Plus, we get an inside look at an upcoming hosted trip that might be your next dream adventure. Strap in for big fish, wild landscapes, and some unforgettable moments on the Wet Fly Swing Podcast! Episode Chapters with Phil, Daniel, and Lance on Northern Rockies Whitefish, Grayling, and the Predator-Prey Game The lakes and rivers of the Northern Rockies are home to a mix of fish, each playing a role in the ecosystem. While whitefish and grayling might not be top targets for every angler, they tell an important story about these waters. Key Takeaways: - Whitefish = Healthy Water – Mountain whitefish are a sign of clean, untouched rivers. If they're thriving, so is the fishery. - Grayling on Dry Flies – These fish love rising to dries but don't always have the best aim. Be ready for multiple takes! - Whitefish = Food Source – Big rainbows, bull trout, and lake trout feast on whitefish. Schools of them hugging the bank means predators are nearby. Some of the best fishing moments happen when you're not just casting but observing. In these remote waters, every fish has a role, and understanding them can make you a better angler. Crystal Clear Lakes and a Short but Intense Fishing Season The lakes of the Northern Rockies aren't like most others. They are deep, clear, and packed with life. With diverse landscapes and rich water quality, these lakes create the perfect habitat for big, healthy fish. What Makes These Lakes Special? - Ultra-clear water – No murky lakes here, just pristine, see-through waters. - Rich food sources – Scuds (freshwater shrimp), snails, and chironomids fuel big trout. - Diverse habitats – From deep, rocky basins to shallow, weedy shoals, every lake is different. The fishing season here is short but intense. If you're after prime stillwater action, aim for June to September. For big pike, cooler water in June or late August is best. And if dry flies are your thing, mid-July to mid-August is peak time. Chasing Lake Trout: Timing, Depth, and Surprise Encounters Lake trout can be tricky on the fly, but with the right approach, they're not impossible. These fish love cold, oxygen-rich water, so they move deep when temperatures rise. But sometimes, they show up in the last place you'd expect. Flying into the Wild: The Ultimate Fishing Access Getting to Northern Rockies Adventures isn't just a journey—it's part of the experience. Float planes take anglers deep into untouched waters, where the only crowds are schools of hungry fish. The Bush Planes That Get You There - Caravan – A “rocket ship on floats,” built for speed and comfort. - Turbo Otter – A powerhouse that carries up to nine anglers in style. - King Air 300 – The luxury ride from Vancouver, flying right over the Rockies. Every flight brings jaw-dropping views, from rugged peaks to remote lakes. And with bubble windows, you're never missing a moment. No crowded boats, no long drives—just you, a plane, and the adventure ahead. Phil and Tim Flagler are teaming up for a special hosted trip at Northern Rockies Adventures from August 10–17, 2025. This trip offers a mix of stillwater and river fishing, with access to some of the wildest and most untouched fisheries in North America. What to Expect - Four flyouts to remote waters, targeting multiple species. - Guided and hosted fishing with Phil, Tim, and the Northern Rockies team. - Pre-trip Zoom sessions to go over logistics, gear, and flies. - Lodge accommodations with incredible food and views. If you're interested in joining the trip, email Daniel or Phil at daniel@nradventures.com or flycraft@shaw.ca or visit flycraftangling.com. Exploring the Northern Rockies by Float Plane Lance Egan spent an unforgettable week at Northern Rockies Adventures, fishing six out of seven days and staying at the lodge right off the Alaska Highway. The experience combined world-class fishing, comfortable accommodations, and breathtaking views. Lance landed rainbows, bull trout, grayling, northern pike, and lake trout while exploring the remote waters. With 132 million hectares of wilderness and 80+ fishing locations, the possibilities were endless. Even after a week, it felt like they had only scratched the surface. One of the biggest highlights? Flying in a float plane over untouched rivers and hidden lakes, picking the perfect spot to fish. With so many unexplored waters, it's an angler's paradise waiting to be discovered. A Fly Fishing Playground: Dry Flies, Streamers, and Bull Trout Lance mixed it up on this trip, fishing dry flies, streamers, and even topwater poppers. While dry fly fishing was his go-to, he also found success stripping streamers for bull trout, pike, and lake trout. Bull Trout: Targeted near drop-offs and inlets, using streamers like white sparkle minnows. - Pike: Explosive topwater eats on poppers and divers in shallow, clear lakes. - Grayling & Rainbows: Dry flies were the ticket, with spot-and-stalk fishing making for exciting takes.

Ever had that perfect fishing moment slip away? Now imagine it happening on international television.When British angler Matt Hayes and German social media star Babs Kijewski arrived at Chaudière Lodge in 2015, Steve Niedzwiecki was determined to showcase the best of Ontario's Upper French River for their series "Castaway Canada." What unfolded instead was a masterclass in Murphy's Law and human dynamics pushed to breaking point.This episode pulls back the curtain on what happens when the cameras stop rolling during outdoor TV productions. From a massive television crew that occupied three cottages to the unbridled enthusiasm of an influencer who couldn't resist casting even when explicitly told not to, the behind-the-scenes tension is palpable throughout Steve's retelling.The heartbreak is visceral as Steve recounts not one but two trophy fish—a monster muskie and a 40-inch northern pike—that were hooked and lost before cameras could capture the action. The resulting friction aboard the boat reached critical mass, culminating in one host being effectively "grounded" to her cottage for the remainder of the shoot.Beyond fishing drama, Steve also touches on the devastating ice storm affecting southern Ontario and shares thoughtful reflections on the upcoming Canadian federal election. But it's his candid analysis of how negative energy spreads that provides the most powerful takeaway from this unforgettable shoot gone wrong.Whether you're a fishing enthusiast, a content creator, or simply someone who appreciates genuine stories about human nature under pressure, this raw account of missed opportunities and clashing personalities offers invaluable perspective on what it truly means when we say "the one that got away."

Here's a quick history lesson about Devils Lake, ND! It was a super salty lake with a cool history of steamboats with tons of Northern Pike and more. #ittoutdoors #VisitDevilsLake #fishinglife

#711 Show Notes: https://wetflyswing.com/711 Presented By:   Pescador on the Fly, TroutRoutes, On DeMark Lodge, Four Wheel Campers When you think of a predatory fish, what are the first few species that come to mind? For many anglers, Northern Pike is among the most thrilling predators to catch. If fishing for northern pike is on your radar, today's episode is a must-listen. In this episode, we will break down sight fishing for Northern Pike with Matt Martin of Smooth River Guide. Find out his secrets to targeting big Northern Pike by sight. Here's what you'll learn: Muskie vs Pike  Best time to target Northern Pike Sight Fishing Northern Pike  How to Find Pike in Shallow Bays Best Flies (and color) for Northern Pike Fishing  The perfect strip, and when the fish strike Episode Chapters with Matt Martin on Sight Fishing for Northern Pike Matt Martin grew up in Barrie, Ontario, and now lives in Midland, a town on the shores of Georgian Bay. Georgian Bay is known as the 30,000 Islands region. It's the world's largest freshwater archipelago. Matt guides on over 50 lakes and a dozen rivers, targeting 14 different species. Northern Pike is definitely a top species to target, but it can still vary depending on where you are in the province.  Here's a breakdown of the species you can fish in the area:  Smallmouth and Largemouth Bass   Northern Pike – Pike season runs from May to June and then again in September. Walleye Muskie  Chinook Salmon Coho Rainbow Trout  Steelhead Brown Trout  Muskie vs Pike  Unlike pike, which are easier to catch, muskies are tough. You might not even see one all day, and the chances of getting a hit are low. Muskies are more challenging to catch because they have a lower population and a bigger home range.  For those who want to target muskie, Matt recommends booking more than one day to increase your chances. Best Time to Go Fishing for Northern Pike  The best time for northern pike fishing is in the spring. The season opens on May 1st in Ontario, and that's when pike are easiest to catch. Here's why: In the first week of May, pike can be found in less than two feet of water, sunbathing in sandy bottom bays. The main lake water is still cold (around 42-43°F), but the back bays warm up to the 50s. Pike use the warmer water to increase their metabolism. According to Matt, sight fishing for pike is a whole new level of fun.  Sight Fishing for Northern Pike  Matt uses an 18-foot Lund Deep V fishing boat for sight fishing. He says it's perfect for the larger lakes, especially when the waves get rough. Matt uses advanced gear like a Minn Kota motor and Garmin LiveScope to spot pike before casting.  Fishing for Northern Pike in Shallow Bays In the spring, focus on large, warm bays, especially those near river mouths. These areas draw pike because they offer the perfect hiding spots in weeds or along logs, where pike can ambush prey. Pike are ambush predators, so they wait below the surface to attack. When fishing for pike, Matt says to keep your fly around 2 to 4 feet above the fish because pike strike from below.  Best Flies for Fishing Northern Pike  Matt prefers using bright, easy-to-see flies when fishing for pike, especially in spring. He avoids natural tones and uses colors like white, yellow, or bright pink.  The key is using flies that mimic the white belly of baitfish. Pike are drawn to movement, so keep that fly above them and use a strip to get their attention.   Stripping Your Fly for Pike The way you strip your fly is crucial for catching pike. Most strikes happen during the pause between strips, not while you're actively moving the fly.  For some flies, like the Game Changer, Matt recommends a quick, short strip with a half-second pause to let the fly sink a bit.  Other flies like the Yard Sale need a longer strip with a hard kick at the end to make the fly wobble like an injured fish.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gEUP5cEOB6M Essential Gear for Catching Big Northern Pike Pike can be super aggressive, so it's key to be prepared with the right gear to protect you and the fish. Here are some things to remember when fishing for Northern Pike:   Use a large, deep net to keep the fish in the water while you unhook it. Have multiple sets of tools like jaw spreaders and pliers for safe handling. Protect the fish to make sure they're safely released after catching them.  Pike can live up to 20–25 years in the wild. Matt says it's okay to keep smaller ones (around 27 inches), but those big 40-inch fish should go back in the water.  If you keep one, make sure it's injured and can't survive being released.    Matt's Go-to Tips for Fishing for Northern Pike  Start in Shallow Bays  Bring Multiple Rods and Lines  Use 8-10 weight rods and carry lines with different sinking rates: floating, intermediate, type 3, and type 5. Add a 12-inch section of 20-25 lb bite wire to your leader. Short Leaders Work Best Use Durable Pike Lines  Focus on bays with creeks, green weeds, and the right structure. Matt's final advice? Stick with it and have faith—pike are   Show Notes:  https://wetflyswing.com/711  

This week Julee Stewart (MSc. graduate) and Dr. Chris Somers (University of Regina) join Brendan to talk ice fishing outcomes for fish welfare from two of their recent studies on catch and release for Cisco and Northern Pike using different tackle on tip-ups in Saskatchewan. They discuss their findings, what they mean for anglers and fish, and how we need to think not just about catching but also release, especially as catch and release angling continues to gain popularity.  Dr. Somers also discusses how his lab uses social media and how it was used in their Northern Pike study, and how they get great buy-in from folks across the region.   You can check out Dr. Somer's lab page here: https://somersbiology.ca/index.html  Julee and Dr. Somer's Papers can be found here: Cisco Paper: https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1002/aff2.181  Northern Pike Tip-ups: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0165783624002911 Main point: Respect fish as individuals, and remember that as an angler your choices matter when it comes to fish welfare outcomes.    Get in touch with us!

Show Notes:  https://wetflyswing.com/707  Presented by: Pescador on the Fly, FishHound Expeditions, Four Wheel Campers Sponsors: https://wetflyswing.com/sponsors  In this episode, we are thrilled to have Mitch and Aldo, the dynamic duo behind the renowned So Fly Fishing podcast, one of Canada's top fly fishing shows. Join us as Mitch and Aldo take us on a journey through Southern Ontario's stunning waters and beyond. They'll share captivating stories from their podcast, offering insights into their favorite trips and the incredible guests they've hosted. Whether you're planning your next big adventure or simply dreaming of the perfect fly fishing escape, Mitch and Aldo are here to provide inspiration and expert advice. Episode Chapters with Mitch Duesling and Aldo Pescatore-Tardioli on the So Fly Fishing Podcast 1:28 - I had the pleasure to guest on their podcast in April last year about starting and sustaining a fly fishing podcast. 3:44 - We started our chat by getting into their creative journey in the podcasting space. Mitch reflects on the origins of their project, which began as an idea in 2015 and launched its first episode in January 2016. Mitch notes the rise of the creator culture, observing that even young family members aspire to be creators now. Aldo recalls joining the podcast as a guest on an episode and later becoming a co-host. The team experienced a shift in their production schedule during the Covid lockdown, initially increasing their output to one episode per week due to having more free time. Eventually, they settled into a rhythm of releasing two episodes per month, which they find to be a balanced and sustainable approach. 6:52 - We talk about fishing in Ontario. Mitch and Aldo discuss how Ontario offers a wide range of fishing opportunities due to its large size and diverse ecosystems, from Southern Ontario to the far north. They note that while they have traveled globally, Ontario remains a prime fishing destination for them. Aldo mentions the multi-species fishing opportunities, including smallmouth bass, pike, and musky, particularly in Ottawa. He also remarks on the less populated areas of the province, which offer remote fishing experiences. 9:51 - Aldo shares that time when a listener's invitation led them to Texas for redfishing, highlighting the exciting and memorable experiences that result from this kind of trips. Both Mitch and Aldo emphasize the importance of being open to opportunities and seizing them when they arise. 13:29 - Mitch discusses the shift from audio-only content to video podcasts on YouTube. He notes that more people are engaging with their content on YouTube, likely due to the visual component that video offers. Despite this shift, creating video content presents challenges, such as ensuring guests have the necessary technology to participate visually. 16:00 - We discuss the excitement of having well-known guests on the show, particularly those outside the fly fishing community. They recount a near-success in booking actor Liam Neeson, who declined their invitation but showed interest initially. They dream of featuring other famous personalities, focusing solely on their fishing experiences rather than their celebrity status. 18:39 - I mention our episodes with Yvon Chouinard and Henry Winkler. 19:13 - The hosts discuss their experiences with receiving negative comments or "hate mail" after podcast episodes. Mitch and Aldo acknowledge that early on, they received criticism for swearing too much, which they have since reduced. 21:19 - Aldo and Mitch reveal how they plan and produce their episodes. They rely on a network of sponsors, fly shops, guides, and local connections to secure guests, aiming to maintain a balance between international content and local stories from Ontario. 24:25 - We ask them about their plans for this year. One of the highlights is a trip to Belize in February, where they'll be exploring Ambergris Caye and San Pedro with a mix of DIY adventures and guided tours. Another major milestone for the team is the upcoming 200th episode of their podcast, which they are thrilled about. 26:28 - They share about an annual event called the Southern Ontario Trout Opener Social in April. It serves as a fundraiser aiming to support local river conservation efforts. The event features a cocktail party setup with around 150 attendees, including tying competitions where participants can win a day with a guide. The event has been running for four years and was designed to attract both fishing enthusiasts and non-fishers. 30:25 - Our conversation discusses potential guests and episodes for this year. Aldo expresses a strong interest in having Andy Mill on the show. He admires Andy's work and has been an avid listener of the Mill House podcast, which captures the allure of saltwater fishing. 35:33 - We dig into Aldo's first time travelling to Belize. Mitch also shares his favorite fishing trip so far which was in a river in Northern Ontario because of the available fish species and wild life there. 45:14 - Aldo raises a concern about the potential apprehension of having earlier episodes of their podcast accessible to listeners, particularly if they might not reflect the current quality or style. 46:34 - They share their favorite podcasts. Mitch highlights "Design Matters" with Debbie Millman as his favorite podcast. He praised Debbie's interviewing style, noting her ability to keep conversations engaging and forward-moving. Aldo recommends "Pivot" with Kara Swisher and Scott Galloway. He explains that the podcast explores the intersection of business, technology, and everyday life. Aldo appreciates the hosts' approach, as they avoid talking down to listeners. 49:22 - Mitch shares the inspiration behind starting a podcast, highlighting his love for radio and conversation. His interest sparked from listening to "The Ricky Gervais Show," which he considers one of the best podcasts due to its humor and engaging content. 51:40 - We ask for the story about the title of their podcast, So Fly. 52:48 - We share a story about our family's recent trip to Anchorage, Alaska with the team of Fishhound Expeditions. We travelled in our amazing pop up camper from Four Wheel Campers. 56:17 - We ask some random questions like their go-to YouTube channel and podcast platform.

Join us for a thrilling exploration in this episode of The Box of Oddities, where we uncover the enigmatic Tulli Scrolls, rumored to be ancient Egyptian documents that detail the sighting of UFOs in the skies of antiquity. What secrets do these scrolls hold, and why have they eluded historians for so long? Next, we journey to the haunted hills of Curtea de Argeș, nestled on the southern slopes of the Transylvanian Alps. This historic site boasts a chilling past filled with legends of vampires, tragic love stories, and architectural marvels. What lurks in the shadows of this storied land? In a fascinating twist of science and technology, we delve into the groundbreaking discoveries that reveal uncanny similarities between DNA and computer code. What does this mean for our understanding of life itself? Are we simply biological algorithms, or is there something more profound at play? Finally, we discuss the quirky world of eggcorns—those amusing malapropisms that arise from a mishearing or misinterpretation of phrases. From “for all intents and purposes” to “for all intensive purposes,” we'll laugh our way through the linguistic misadventures that often leave us scratching our heads.

Send us a Text Message.This week on the Montana Outdoor Podcast your host Downrigger Dale talks with FWP Fisheries Biologist Brian Stephens about an incredible chain of lakes in Northwest Montana. These lakes are stunning in appearance and cover approximately 3,000 acres and stretch over 20 miles along Highway 2, halfway between Kalispell and Libby. This includes an extensive State Park that includes shoreline access to 18 lakes including McGregor Lake, Little McGregor Lake, Lower Thompson Lake, Middle Thompson Lake, Upper Thompson Lake, Horseshoe Lake and Loon Lake. Depending on which lake you fish you will find all kinds of different fish, such as Kokanee Salmon, several different species of Trout, Large Mouth and Small Mouth Bass, Northern Pike, Perch, Pumpkinseeds, and even a species of fish that you rarely find in Montana, the elusive Tiger Muskie! And get this we have not even named all the different species. Brian Stephens is extremely knowledgeable and when you listen to the podcast, he will take you on a podcast tour of several of the lakes and talks about what you can find in them. Rigger and Brian spent some time talking about the Tiger Muskie in Horseshoe Lake since that is a fish you just don't find often in Montana. Brian talked about why they were put into Horseshoe Lake which is VERY interesting. Basically, they are used, in a way, like a biological Rumba to keep populations of non-sportfish down so that the lake can support fish that are more popular to fishermen. Wait until you hear how tricky these fish are! There are several campgrounds throughout the area so plan on staying a while and explore these lakes. They truly are fascinating and will get you addicted to the area since you can catch so many different species of fish in these lakes. It is likely that you will want to listen to this podcast more than once as there is a TON of information waiting for you.Links:Click here to learn more and see activities, services and what's nearby.

Here we are with the 22nd installment of Tackle and Tacos and we're already repeating guests. There is a good reason for it though! The Lenfants are here. Marc and Easton, father and son, are great anglers, good friends, YouTubers, they fish a lot of tournaments, plus they also really like tacos. So maybe they'll just have to be regulars on the show! We did shift gears and get a little serious while tracking this episode because it's 9-11. We discuss this date from 22 years ago and share what it means to us. We will never forget. I so vividly remember George W Bush, standing on top of the rubble, speaking to the hurting Americans everywhere saying, "I can hear you. The rest of the world hears you. And the people who knocked these buildings down will hear all of us soon." Of course there's a good bit of talk about nonsense and some pretty specific fishing stuff. Lola, during the tournament the day before did something I've never really even heard of before; she caught 3 PB's of different species on the same day! Smallmouth, Musky and Northern Pike.

Get to know the ornery little cousins of the Northern Pike and Musky: the pickerels!

Hey Folks, This was a treat. Captain is a solid man. We had a blast. He has some major plans. Give this a listen and book a trip! Our 2021 season was our best season since our establishment. The size of the fish remains to be a key topic. Our Steelhead fishing remains spectacular with plenty of fish and a lot weighing between 10 to 15 pound range. Salmon fishing continues to improve since the agreement to plant more salmon in Lake Michigan. Doubles are triples were of the norm during those twilight times of the day. Size of the King Salmon continue to be above average and a variety of age classes were caught each trip. Many personal bests were caught with us last year including a new boat record king salmon that toppled the scales at a whooping 30.10 pounds!!! _ Recently we have had a change of pace in regards of target species. We saw plenty of interest from our clientele to target Northern Pike, Brown Trout, and Steelhead which differed from our regular whitefish trips. Last ice season we saw some giant brown trout and boy where they fun to land through the ice. The Brown Trout we caught were between the 8 to 20 pound range. The Northern Pike are plentiful which can make a day pretty busy chasing one after another tip ups. Our ice house used as a warming center and to watch those sporting events you would normally miss while going fishing, you won't miss no more. So invite your friends and let's have a tailgate party chasing tip ups and watching the game! _ Thank you for tuning into another episode of Bucks of America Podcast brought to you by HHA Sports, VeteranIP, RPG Coffee, and Dangler Case. _ Click here for more Information https://linktr.ee/Bucks_Of_America_Podcast _ Use Promo Code: 'BUCKS10' for 10% off https://danglercase.com/ _ Please rate and review. _ Superepic by Alexander Nakarada | https://www.serpentsoundstudios.com Music promoted by https://www.free-stock-music.com Attribution 4.0 International (CC BY 4.0) https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ #RPGCoffee #VIPArchery #outdoors #HHASports #hhausa #archery #BMAC #SBK #Hunt #Whitetail #RealPeopleGiving #outdoors #HideandSeekChampion #DanglerCase #NativeScents #HuntingGearDeals #SoundCloud #iTunes #PublicLandOwner #hhausateam22 #PodcastAddict #TunedIn #FieldtotheFork #Spotify #MountainManMedic #Hunting #bowhunting #VortexEdge #VotexOptics #Trauma Kits #IFAKs #backpacking #EDC #emergencymedical #FirstAid #hiking #ifak #lightweight #Medicalmolle #OutdoorsSportsman #Tourniquet #traumakit #BucksofAmericaPodcast

Every year, Utah Division of Wildlife officials collect fish for a breeding program. Their goal is the Tiger muskie – the division's secret weapon in managing fish populations throughout the state. Today on the news, we spend time fishing.

NB: In the opening segment, I refer to six poems, but then I only cite five. This is because what I originally took to be a soaring free-verse get-out-the-vote poem turned out to be just a transcription of a Bruce Springsteen Sirius XM ramble. Though, on second thought, maybe that still counts.Some of the topics mentioned in this episode:– Shirley Jackson's short story “The Lottery”– James Wright's poems “Northern Pike,” “The Blessing,” and “Lying in a Hammock at William Duffy's Farm in Pine Island, Minnesota”– Jessica Salfia's poem “The First Lines of Emails I've Received While Quarantined”– Ada Limón's poem “The End of Poetry”– Ross Gay's poem “Sorrow Is Not My Name”– Kitty' O'Meara's poem “In the Time of Pandemic”– Derek Mahon's poem “Everything Is Going to Be All Right”– Alex Manley's article “Twitter Doesn't Want to Let the Poets Find Out About Science”– Freud's book “Totem and Taboo”– Freud's essay “The Uncanny”– 30 Rock's uncanny valley episode– Alex Manley's poem “Aeroelastic Flutter”– 32 Poems 19.1 Summer 2021– Anne-Marie Thompson's poem “Okay is”Please rate, review, and subscribe!
