HEY EVERYONE! I don't often post directly onto the feed, but I'm dropping a quick note for one of our great contributors, Mike Peluso. As you may know from his most recent report, he's laid up with some serious medical issues, and if you've enjoyed any of his writings and his always-timely weekly report at DEO or our affiliates, consider donating to help him recover! - Nick

Doug Leier By Doug Leier In my job, I try to consume as much outdoors media as possible. You’ve got your favorites and so do I. I’ll acknowledge my bias with North Dakota OUTDOORS, the Game and Fish Department's official magazine. Many wrongly assume there’s some dark web communication within the Game and Fish Department. Like most business, agencies and organizations we have your usual channels of email, phone and text....

Nick Simonson By Nick Simonson The North Dakota Pheasants Forever (ND PF) organization received a grant worth more than $1 Million in the most recent round of funding from the state’s Outdoor Heritage Fund (OHF). This money will be offered to landowners looking to plant habitat for wildlife on their property and grant access to it for hunters via the Private Land Open to Sportsmen (PLOTS) program coordinated by the North Dakota Game & Fish Department in conjunction with the ND PF Public Access to Habitat (PATH) initiative, according to Emily Spolyar, ND PF State Coordinator....

Mike Peluso By Mike Peluso Just because I’ve been laid up in a hospital the second half of the week, doesn’t mean I can’t get you a decent walleye fishing report from the best waters in the state! I’ve had a goofy week of fishing to say the least. The weather was my first obstacle with lots of rain and wind early in the week....

Nick Simonson By Nick Simonson As I go along life’s path which frequently winds in and out of the grasslands, woods, and along my favorite waters, I begin to realize that the very basics are what I need to get my fix of time out hunting and fishing. For the former, its becoming simply seeing birds break cover ahead of my dog’s pursuit or a deer wander close to my stand as I’m on it; and for the latter, it’s the take of a fly, that subtle tap on a jig, or the sudden strike on a spoon that grabs my attention and holds it....

Doug Leier By Doug Leier No one will argue the intent of catch-and-release fishing. To enjoy the thrill of landing a fish and then successfully releasing it to live another day and possibly providing an opportunity for the next angler. While the intentions are noble, there’s much more to consider for the full intent of catch-and-release. Especially this time of year....

NDG&F Dept. Release Duck brood numbers were up 28 percent from 2024, but State Game and Fish Department migratory game bird biologists expect a fall flight of ducks similar to last year. The fall flight forecast is based on data from the May breeding duck survey and the July duck brood survey, both conducted annually by Game and Fish biologists....

Brad Durick By Brad Durick Since last week’s Red River report, the catfish bite has done a full 360. Storms and unsettled weather combined with rising water all but shut the bite off last weekend, but as everything has stabilized it has come full circle and the bite is back to being really great. Just like last week, the catfish are holding in the mid-river holes near either break line of the flow....

Nick Simonson By Nick Simonson August provides ample opportunities to scout things out for the mourning dove season which traditionally begins on Sept. 1 each year. What’s more, the month gives hunters the added advantage of identifying the small grain fields that attract these migratory upland birds and provides them with the inkling of how things can be set up best for those September hunts....

Mike Peluso By Mike Peluso This week’s fishing report will be for both Lake Sakakawea and Devils Lake as I split time on those waters equally last week. It’s amazing to think it’s already the end of July and we are closing into what most people consider the dog days of walleye fishing. However, this summer hasn’t felt much like summer with more cooler temperatures than warm....

Nick Simonson By Nick Simonson Generally in life, I’m not big on looking back. Jobs, old relationships, major screw-ups and minor mistakes I try to leave in the rearview mirror taking with me on the road ahead only the lessons learned from those experiences. There’s an old saying I’m fond of about moving forward at any juncture in life: “don’t look back, you’re not going that way.”...
