    MN Walleye Opener & In-Fisherman....

    The time of year has finally arrived in Minnesota....the 2012 Walleye opener weekend is knocking at the door of anglers all over the United States. A great weekend to spend on a lake or river with family, friends and children. A fortunate harvest is a bonus compared to the time spent with those close to you. Enjoy the time with them, don't worry about work or finances. Submerge yourself in the outdoors, relax and take it all in. The best way to relive those memories is to journal them in the Rod and Rifle Rag, so you can reflect on ...

  • New Ways with Walleyes….

    New Ways with Walleyes….

    Perhaps no other place in the country offers more to the walleye fisherman than right here in Central Minnesota. Our glacier-styled lakes and the winding Mississippi River make the perfect walleye habitat. 

    Along with the walleyes, and other fish, come the fishermen. Every good lake, stream and river is fished continually from opening to closing of the season. Is it any wonder the fishing can be tough?

    Dealing with pressured walleyes is perhaps the biggest challenge angler’s face. There is one thing than can help you catch more walleyes, it’s to be flexible and experiment. Walleyes can get ...

  • Ice Fishing in Minnesota....

    So I was ice fishing at Gull Lake in Brainerd, MN and I was using a swedish pimple. I use them because I like them, also there really nice. I went out Thursday and Friday and caught nothing. I was in 20 feet of water. I went out deeper to 80 feet, put down the swedish and right away hooked one that felt nice. I pulled up a 2lb walleye. Nice fish, so I called my uncle and he came out to fish. My uncle used a look a like perch jig. He caught a fish half way down and ...

  • Spead Out and Catch More Fish….

    Spead Out and Catch More Fish....

    Many anglers are still failing to take advantage of new innovations and techniques for better ice fishing. Who won't agree that auguring or chiseling holes through three-feet of ice is too much of a chore without doing everything you can to put the odds in your favor.

    Often I see anglers clustered together like bees in a hive. They'll cut holes only a few feet from each other and have several lines dangling over a tiny part of an underwater island, reef, or weed bed. Why not spread out and cover more area? Each angler is allowed two lines, ...

  • Call them Ice Flies, Call them Panfish Jigs – They all work the same!

    Call them Ice Flies, Call them Panfish Jigs - They all work the same!

    The other day I was in a large sporting goods store. As I always do, I wandered down the fishing lure aisles to see if there was anything new. There usually is something new on the market. As I rounded a corner, I ran into a wall - of ice fishing jigs. 

    The display of tiny lures ran from the floor to as high as I could reach and many feet to the right and left. Fishing with jigs, small teardrop rigs and jigging spoons are handy because you can carry all you'll ever need in a single small ...

    The time of year is here, the holiday season then a turn of the calendar into a new year. During this time most of us reflect on the year that was and set expectations or goals for the year to come. We are no different here at Davis J. Hennes, the parent company for the Rod and Rifle Rag.

  • The Best Day of Fishing Ever….

    The Best Day of Fishing Ever....

    I've heard of salmon jumping into boats, but never anything quite like this....Tom Satre told the Sitka Gazette in Corvalis, Oregon that he was out with a charter group on his 62-foot fishing vessel when four juvenile black-tailed deer swam directly toward his boat.

    "Once the deer reached the boat, the four began to circle the boat, looking directly at us. We could tell right away that the young bucks were distressed. I opened up my back gate and we helped the typically skittish and absolutely wild animals onto the boat. In all my years fishing, I've never seen anything quite like it! Once ...
