Hey guys,
Just thought I would throw it out there that I am heading back up to school from X-Mas break, if anyone is heading up my direction drop a note in here and we can try and get in touch. I try to get out about three times a week and know quite a few lakes in the area. Just thought I would let everyone know. Feel free if anyone wants to e-mail me at [email protected] Good Luck, -Ding

Ding, have you tried (Little)Boot Lake west of town about 7mi? I used to live on it and catch 40-50 northerns on a good day. Some hammer handles with 3-6lb mixed in.

Cloudfisher, thanks for the tip, I might have to go and try that sounds like some great action, I didn't see it on my fishing map but I'll look a little closer and check it out. I'll let you know if I go. Thanks, -Ding

Scott,
Hey thanks for the note. I don't think I am going to be able to get back out anymore this week. I went to the house out on plantan and got 4 small walleyes and a chuncky 23 1/2 incher. I'm going to the Brainerd tourny on Saturday but maybe on Sunday or Monday we can go. My e-mail is [email protected]. Feel free to e-mail me. I have a bunch of lakes that hold nice fish if we can get them. Talk to you later. -Ding

Cloudfisher,
I found Little Boot Lake on my Topo Map and was just wondering how to get onto the lake I see there is a minimum maintenance road into it but will that get me there? Just curious. If you come up a agian drop a note. Thanks again for the info. -Ding

take a left onto the minimum maint. road. Go to the first drive on the left. The driveway is about1-2mi long. There is a house we rented at the end of it. (When I was up there in the spring and fall, no one was living there). There is a boat landing trail just before you get to the house. This is the only way we found to get on. If you go email me at [email protected] and I'll tell you where we had our house set up out there.

      here are a few of my favorites:   1) cube breast meat, marinate in Italian dressing over night, wrap in bacon, grill    2) cube breast meat, cover with shore lunch or any other breading batter of your choice, flour/egg wash etc if you like that, fry and enjoy just like little chicken nuggets   3) cube breast meat, season with salt, pepper, garlic, quickly fry in pan serve over rice, can also look up  South Dakota version of chislic similar to this   4) cream of something soup, crock pot with what ever you want lol   5) pheasant and dumpling soup   6) this one is a little bit of work but good stuff: https://fromfieldtoplate.com/2016/08/16/sesame-pheasant-garden-veggie-stir-fry/   I tend to save all my legs and prepare them together. For example this last weekend I shot 2 birds on Sat and 3 on Sunday for a total of 10 legs. Put them all in a crock pot, with beefbroth and a can or 2 of dr pepper to make sure they are call covered. cook on low until tender. pull all tendons etc out and shred any meat you can salvage. add  barbeque sauce and serve on a bun and toppings of your choice. will be very similar to pulled pork.   I hate wasting legs, and I hate even more seeing others not utilize them and just breast out birds and leave the legs to rot     My team of GSP's have been putting the hurt on birds this year here in SD. pleasantly surprised with numbers after the brutal winter we had. probably had my best year of sharptail hunting that I can ever recall in my lifetime also.

      read Jeff Sundins most recent report........even he's pretty leary about the state of current ice conditions..........

      You can prepare/cook them pretty much any way you make chicken.  The taste and texture is very similar.  I'm sure I could do what Moose posted above with his grouse and the finished product would be almost identical.   My favorite recipe is a slow cook in a cast iron pot.  That takes some time because it requires cooking at low temperature for at least 90 minutes.  The finished product is very good.   Being that its so warm out, I might try grilling some here too.   I also give a few away each season.  My possession limit is triple the daily bag limit so its something I have to be mindful of before I go hunting again.

      Walked out about half a mile on Tuesday with max safety (life jacket, ice picks, long rope to house, and chisel).  Ice was very solid and I measured 7½" today (Thursday).  The first 1/8 mile was nice dark ice that was large chunks frozen together, but quite smooth.  Then there was about 40 feet of very jagged white ice.  Had to lift the portable over the points of ice otherwise it would hang up on them.  Then the next mile of ice was rough white ice as shown in the picture with the ice scoop.  At the small island before Birch Island the ice appears to be dark (and probably smoother).  Several snowmobiles and ATVs were running out as far as Birch Island but it was easy walking for me.   Fishing got better each day.  Rainbow and chubs were about equal.  Couldn't catch a fish on pike suckers.  Best fish was the 27" (8#-3oz) hog shown in the picture.  Had a hard time getting her head into the hole.  Picture quality is bad because I wanted to release her quickly to avoid further stress.  Good luck out there and be careful on the ice.

      Measured 6" good clear ice today about 50 yards off the north side of Moccasin point. Walked out for a little ice fishing. Remember ice conditions vary around the lake, depending on sun exposure and current in channels/narrows. Be cautious, safe and verify your local ice conditions.  Directly off the Moccasin point boat landing, in the channel ice conditions looked poor. Picture is from Northside of Moccasin point I the early morning  when ice looks the best

      Finished the 23 waterfowl season over Thanksgiving. Got to hunt two days of the long weekend. Saw a modest number of ducks, and harvested mallards, bluebills, and ringnecks as the water began freezing over during the weekend. One of our tougher seasons with different migration patterns probably due to unusual weather patterns with constant fluctuating between well above average temps for a period and then almost instantly well below temps before going well above again, and so forth. Still will cherish the memories with family and friends and relive the sights and sounds of out on the water during fall. Will be posting ice fishing reports in the fishing report clubs as soon as the ice is safe. Happy Holidays everyone.

      Thanks for sharing this exciting career opportunity with Orvis in the Minneapolis area. It's great to see companies looking for passionate individuals to join their team, especially in the world of fly fishing.
