Cmrc is holding a informal trial at our grounds in St Cloud Minnesota off of Hwy 10 and Golden Spike Road. Same place as our Field Trials and Hunt Test.

Trials are held the 3rd. Sunday of each month Dec. through April

Sign up begins at 8:00 am and the trial begins at 9:00 am.

Come and have fun with the dog this weekend!

Open (with multiple marks and blinds)

Qualifying (which involves up to a triple with blinds)

Derby (which is for dogs under the age of 2)

Hunters (which has singles or double marks and maybe a blind)

Puppy (which is for dogs under the age of 1).

Lunch is served in the club house. We ask handlers to step forward and help throw birds. The success of the Informals comes from everyone pitching in and helping out.

Entry fees are $15 for the Open and Qualifying, $12 for the Derby and Hunter, and $10 for the Puppy stake. Trophies and Rosettes will be awarded

Todd,

Remind us again before each trial. Sounds like a fun way to spend a day. Thanks for sharing.

Will do, they really are a good time, and a great way for people to get into the retriever games , without the cost and pressure of a lisc. trial or test, and there an important source of income for the club as well.

I will also add that for these informals the dogs don't have to be a purebred retriever , any dog that will pick up a bird can run... I have a training partner that runs a Lab/weimer mix and competes.

Bump

Trial this sunday Feb. 16th.

Thanks for the heads up. I really wish I could make it tomorrow but unfortunately I have to study GAAP. It looks like the weather should hold up. I do plan on attending the one in March.

Hey Todd....how far into the summer do you fellas work the dogs. Might drive down some weekend just for the heck of it. I can probably do something useful for a while.

Good work. And great to see the outreach to younger people.

Pretty much 6 days a week all summer, and as much as possible during the winter. This is the last ":club" trial then the club has 2 lisc. field trials and a lisc HT during the summer. I'll post up the dates of the summer events in a different thread, come on down some time and check it out, really nice grounds and good people..

      I might have missed a guess, but here are the ones that I noted:   JerkinLips – March 27th, then April 7th Brianf. – March 28th Bobberwatcher – April…. MikeG3Boat – April 10th SkunkedAgain – early April, then April 21st   Definitely a tough year for guesses, as it seemed to be a no-brainer early ice out. Then it got cold and snowed again.

      Sturgeon Fishing is Hot

      By LakeofthewoodsMN · Posted

      On the south end...   Lots of ice on the main basin, but it is definitely deteriorating.  Some anglers have been fishing the open water at the mouth of the Rainy River in front of the Lighthouse Gap.  The rest of the basin is still iced over. Pike enthusiasts caught some big pike earlier last week tip up fishing in pre-spawn areas adjacent to traditional spawning areas.  8 - 14' of water using tip ups with live suckers or dead bait such as smelt and herring has been the ticket.  Ice fishing for all practical purposes is done for the year. The focus for the basin moving forward will be pike transitioning into back bays to spawn,  This is open water fishing and an opportunity available as the pike season is open year round on Lake of the Woods. The limit is 3 pike per day with one being able to be more than 40 inches. All fish 30 - 40 inches must be released. With both the ice fishing and spring fishing on the Rainy River being so good, many are looking forward to the MN Fishing Opener on Saturday, May 11th.  It should be epic. On the Rainy River...  An absolutely incredible week of walleye and sturgeon fishing on the Rain Rainy River.     Walleye anglers, as a rule, caught good numbers of fish and lots of big fish.  This spring was one for the books.   To follow that up, the sturgeon season is currently underway and although every day can be different, many boats have caught 30 - 40 sturgeon in a day!  We have heard of fish measuring into the low 70 inch range.  Lots in the 60 - 70 inch range as well.   The sturgeon season continues through May 15th and resumes again July 1st.   Oct 1 - April 23, Catch and Release April 24 - May 7, Harvest Season May 8 - May 15, Catch and Release May 16 - June 30, Sturgeon Fishing Closed July 1 - Sep 30, Harvest Season If you fish during the sturgeon harvest season and you want to keep a sturgeon, you must purchase a sturgeon tag for $5 prior to fishing.    One sturgeon per calendar year (45 - 50" inclusive, or over 75"). Most sturgeon anglers are either a glob of crawlers or a combo of crawlers and frozen emerald shiners on a sturgeon rig, which is an 18" leader with a 4/0 circle hook combined with a no roll sinker.  Local bait shops have all of the gear and bait. Up at the NW Angle...  Open water is continuing to expand in areas with current.  The sight of open water simply is wetting the pallet of those eager for the MN Fishing Opener on May 11th.   A few locals were on the ice this week, targeting pike.  Some big slimers were iced along with some muskies as well.  If you like fishing for predators, LOW is healthy!

      Early bird gets the worm some say...   I have it on good authority that this very special angler caught no walleyes or muskies and that any panfish caught were released unharmed.
