Fishing on both the Jmaes and the Pipe has been very spotty this year to say the least. I myself have fished many times out on both bodies on water with below average success, compared to the last two-three years. Also have noticed that the number of people fishing both reservoirs is way down from the last couple years. I can remember seeing groups of houses 2 years ago numbering in the 200-300 range. This year the biggest groups are from 10-15 houses. Anybody have specific directions to where all the fish are biting this year?? Will exchange info on spots that have produced for me this year so far.

Fished devils lake on 1-13 on Creel Bay. Pretty cold, saw lots of perch on the underwater camera but didn't seem too active. Noticed they all left the area and suddenly I saw big red on my fl-18 about 3ft off the bottom. went back to look at the camera and saw a BIG muskie who cruised around all the small baits and then left. Pretty exciting anyway. Sure wish we could use live sucker minnows out here! Had some walleyes move in right around 5pm and caught a few but they were all small throwbacks. 24ft. off beer can island.

I am interested in prairie dog hunting and I am just getting started. I would like to make this an annual trip with some co-workers but have no idea where to go. Can you help? Public ground private ranchers who would welcome the presents of hunters and campers for a few days. We would rather not pay for a guided trip if possible. thank you

David, Keene is on the edge of the northern edge of the badlands and has excellent mulie and white tail deer hunting in every direction. There are also some antelope in the area, but good luck trying to get a tag!! Reasonable numbers of pheasants, sharpies, and huns for upland hunting. Some ducks and geese in the fall, but waterfowl aren't as plentiful. Beautiful area to hunt, access can be a problem unless you are hunting with someone from around there though. Overall I really enjoyed hunting that area when I lived and worked out there.

Stumpguide, I have used smashed ciscos for chummin'; it seems to work better in the spring of the year for whatever reason. The fishing has been great for pike this winter, remember to wear gloves though, ripped my index finger about off setting the line on a 12#er earlier this wk.

Good Fishing!
