WEEKEND WIPEOUT.  Any spring gains we might have made in psyche, will be set back by a cold slap this weekend.  Brave the elements for a continued hot walleye bite, or gear up for warmer days ahead as we make the turn to May next week. We go around the horn in today’s Three Things.

ONE IMPORTANT THING

SB 2315 DIES.  By a vote of 48-44 in the ND House, SB 2315 (the “everything’s posted” bill) failed and the laws regarding accessing unposted land for hunting and other outdoor activity in the Roughrider State remain unchanged.  Despite late-night rumors of a revival in SB 2015 in some sort, sportsmen efforts to squash the bill were successful this session thanks to considerable outreach by hunters and anglers to their legislators.

 

Now…go fishing and Stay Sharp!
