True North by Jack Kulpa will hit everything you’re looking for. Collection of shorter stories separated by seasons. Think he may have used to write for Field & Stream.
Even better is he focuses mostly on that state across the river from you!
Gophs may not even need to win next week to make a toilet bowl. Currently only 68 out of 82 slots filled with 6+ win teams and there are 24 teams sitting at 5+ wins. Apparently after this the asterisk teams that eligible normally (James Madison) become eligible and then it goes in order of their Academic Progress Report scores which is topped by none other than PJ’s Gophers.
Then PJ can trumpet making another bowl game not to mention the invaluable extra couple weeks of practice and coaching that pushes this team over the edge to a title contender next year. Just think if Athan hadn’t had those extra couple weeks last year, we’d be looking at a QB that could only 40% of his passes instead of 50%!
I’ve got my alarm set for 6:00 pm Tuesday to reach out to Grouse on that snow blower issue I had the last storm a month or two back!
I’ve got a half dozen that I’ve been running the last couple years. Very happy with the picture and video quality for the price. No experience with other cell cams for battery life but seems to be pretty good and obviously you can extend that out well too if you shorten the video duration. As others have mentioned, can’t beat $5/month for 500 pics and being able to activate/deactivate them whenever you want. Run them as cell cams August-December and otherwise just do SD card. Pretty sure they import the cams but they are based out of Minnesota and have been very prompt and fair on the couple repairs I’ve had (woodpecker hitting the fresnel). I may run my food plot off a solar panel next year and see how that goes.
Hard to believe but the Gophs are 1st in the country in both total offense and total defense. Granted, playing NM State and Western Ill, but there was also a time not many years ago a loss would not surprise you.
Nebby is the same spot the Gophers were in the 80s- 20 years past any actual shot at a championship. Problem is the fanbase thinks this was a couple years back when nobody they are recruiting was alive during the glory years.
How west in WI are you? Bill’s welding and repair just north of Augusta on 27 is very good. (715) 286-5529
Torchy’s Tacos which is a quicker growing specialty regional chain and if you do want to get out of town more Louie Mueller BBQ in Taylor. Very well known but much more classic, small town BBQ place than the city joints! Can’t go wrong either way though
On the well pump side, you just want to try and match the output through your hose or hoses to roughly what the pump output is so it doesn’t keeping cycling on and off. Just listen or watch your pressure gauge and try to keep it consistent, which may take two hoses to get enough output. Generally, your well should be able to keep up producing the water but keep an eye out for air or if you have an amprobe, unsteady amperage which would indicate cavitation. Cavitation is worse than short cycling. It’s mainly the initial amperage on startup that heats up the motor windings, once they’re up and running the motors have water moving consistently past to cool them while having a smaller amp load since it’s already in motion. Just don’t start trying to figure out the number of hose bibs you can have on when the wife is in the shower!
Somebody’s gotta be first right?! Usually these type ideas come from Rusk County, must’ve moved one over
I’ve never understood the mindset of not participating in any preseason games. Sure, you may not need the practice but the other 10 guys around you, not to mention reserves, may benefit from semi-real speed situations. For the ultimate team game, I’d think that’s important.
I just think back to the story on Joe Montana later in his career leaving a film study on the West Coast offense with pages of notes when he assisted with pioneering it. Humility goes a long way which has never been a Rodger’s strength.
We had a similar issue a couple years back, thought it was light interference but switched out sensors and that didn’t do it. Light fault flashed four times for ours indicating a sensor issue. Would work on the local hard wired button if you held it but not the remote. Ended up switching out the control card on it for like $70. Has worked perfectly since. This was a linear garage door opener from the late 2000s.
Have only had one camera out so far but good to see this fella on it! Don’t have the history like some of you guys so I’d like to see his body a little better for an age estimate.

To figure out what version you have, you could look at the Lakelist online, locate a lake that was added for that version (Usually they note those), and back-track as mentioned above. Locate that lake, check the contour and see if it matches.
Main reason I know that is because I have a habit of getting a chip and then end up having a lake I want to fish get the HD Contours the next version so mine is out of date. Uncanny!
Mann4ducks is right on, kinda like common wire sizes, the smaller the number the larger the fly size. The size of the fly is actually just stating what the hook size is. For example, a #14 fly is a fly tied onto a #14 hook. Obviously, the larger the hook the larger effective fly size is since you don’t want a big chunk of metal/hook shank sticking out.
I wouldn’t worry too much about the largest or smallest. Depending on what you’re targeting, I’d mainly stick to basics and get the same fly in a couple sizes on either side so you’re covered. The best way to judge what will work is to match the hatch- see what bugs are on the water or below and try to mimic their size and style. Also, don’t give fish too much credit, sure some giants are picky but for the most part it’s like floating a doughnut in front of a fat guy- chances are they’re gonna eat! If you’re in the Midwest, don’t look past using them for warm water species too. Panfish and bass are a blast and readily bite.
Yes, currently in 16th
We see the Amish out on the lake quite often- usually not riding the horse but pulling a buggy that they modify as a sleigh when the snow gets deep. Sometimes they bring a similar built trailer with a fish house on it and have seen them use permanents on the ice. Not sure how they get those out or if they hire it out but amusing to watch! Even more funny when a caravan of them go by in summer on the way to the lake with canoes and kayaks strapped to the buggy and kids hanging out the windows!
You’d be good on a quad, I wouldn’t take a truck out yet especially with the weather this week. Seems like someone goes through every year. That said, one guy with a truck out today. ~9″ of ice.
I can only speak on my own personal experiences with Tom which have not left a good taste. We hired him back in 2017 for a day on Round Lake after seeing his videos. He asked for a deposit which we thought was odd but did anyway. After that- never answered his phone, returned a text, or e-mail. Just took the deposit and never heard or saw him again.
Ask about him at the local baitshops or other area guides and they know the kind of person he is. If you don’t believe me, just look him up on Wisconsin circuit court access- he’s been caught hunting without a license, fishing with too many lines, guiding without a license, among many other crimes. I’m sure his videos are informative, that’s why we hired him in the first place. I just can’t support someone like that through providing another video view. Just my experience.
