TERRIFIC!  We’ll jump into the high fifties today as warmth takes over the region.  More of the same is headed our way for the weekend and we have the details on that, getting your tacklebox stocked and a final call for your applications for ND’s “Big 3” lottery in our Outdoors Roundup.

DAY RATING:

OUTDOORS ROUNDUP:

BIG 3 PREVIEW.  In its weekly web short, the NDG&F Dept. details the opportunities available for moose, elk and bighorn sheep in the state. With elk tags up, moose down just slightly and bighorn sheep to be determined this summer, all applications must be in by Mar. 25.

VIDEO STAR.  We highlight some simple, easy and effective patterns on the DEO Tying At Home Together series during the Covid-19 situation.  We’re putting up some fast-tying flies and jigs to help you pass the time and catch more fish this spring!

MOSTLY WARM.  Aside from a slight mid-week dip, things are stabilizing for spring with temperatures headed into the fifties again this weekend.  With little chance for precip, things are looking great to get outside, find some fish and breathe fresh air!
