Great episode. I am a new member and long time fan. Why don’t you share the names of the sloughs and lakes you fish in the Dakotas? 
Thanks for tuning in.
It is important to me that as we move around the Midwest and Canada filming we show a great deal of respect for the fisheries and that starts by being mindful that we don’t cause damage by the way we produce our shows.
As a rule we never name smaller bodies of water regardless of the state we’re fishing in.
In ND for example if we filmed on Devils Lake or the Missouri River it would be a different story as those fisheries are large enough to handle a spike in pressure. But the slough we fished on in this last show is tiny. If even an additional 100 anglers suddenly dropped on that one specific slough it would be all but destroyed in short order. And that wouldn’t be fair to the locals that call that body of water their home waters or to the fishery.
When we fish on small bodies of water like the slough we fished in this last episode we reference a general area and provide general info on how to tap into the bite. Anglers willing to do a little leg work won’t have any issue finding a good bite in that same area using the techniques we shared and the pressure will be spread out amongst the available sloughs causing little to no harm to the individual fisheries.
