It's been an awesome week out here in Bismarck North Dakota getting back on the Missouri River fishing the open water again!  Pretty warm weather helped melt some ice and dried some stuff out a little.   We also saw some boat ramps open up and even a couple...

Holy crap the river is open!  Not the entire river, but basically Bismarck north is wide open.  As you may expect I was one of the early birds to get out on the water.  Definitely feels good to know spring open water fishing is officially here. ...
