We’ll be at the Bismarck Sports Show this afternoon helping out with the ND Clay Target League booth, so stop by and say hi!  This afternoon and Saturday will be conducive to good ice fishing, so get out there and give it a go.  We talk about the great access this winter has allowed for hardwater angling in today’s Three Things.

ICE FISHING UPDATE.  Agents of the ND Game and Fish Department talk about the status of hardwater angling in the Peace Garden State this winter as part of this week’s Outdoors Online webcast.  Greg Power, Fisheries Chief, highlights good access thanks to low snow totals and great opportunities for ice fishing this season.  Thick ice may even require extensions on many lakes by the end of the season!
