Not exactly a format change. Hard pass.

I’m old enough to remember when FM was a real backwaters in radio, AM and especially WCCO was king. Back then KQ would play an incredible range of stuff that you never heard anywhere else. Songs that ran for 10 minutes, underground bands, lots of great stuff. Segal-Schwall band. Turner, Ray, and Glover. Alman Brothers. Crow. Bonnie Raight before she got famous. It was awesome.
Then the station got sold in the mid 70’s and instantly turned “corporate” with repeating playlists, lots of commercials, and DJ’s who would never shut up.
Anybody remember Beaker Street from the mighty 1090, KAAY in Little Rock? You can still heard Clyde on Friday nights over the Internet at arkansasrocks.com

Guess we can put up with some more snow.

March 28, 2025 at 7:25 am #2326674Twice in my life I have been standing on a lakeshore when the ice was breaking up. A gentle breeze making a million small shards of ice tap against each other. Each tap makes a sound like a little bell. A million little bells. You stand there taking this all in knowing it will be gone in a matter of hours.

March 19, 2025 at 2:07 pm #2324970I remember Dick Schaak. He had a place on a lake in Wisconsin. One spring morning I was way out in front of his place in waders fishing Walleyes. He came out and tried to tell me I was trespassing. I told him to, uh, attempt reproduction by himself. He was unhappy.

March 16, 2025 at 11:22 am #2324316I have to ask. Do the Goshawks, owls, and other predators leave the Grouse alone in the winter too?
March 15, 2025 at 4:38 pm #2324204Here’s a crazy thought. How about the Gophers dropping down to FBS? The best game I saw all year was NDSU versus SDSU. Montana State’s quarterback was all world. Great football without the million dollar price tag.

March 15, 2025 at 4:14 pm #2324195I usually listen to Blues, and that’s hard to find on the air. Even the B.B. King channel on SXM misses the mark. Other wise yes you’re right.
March 15, 2025 at 4:03 pm #2324193“Tom Bernard retired some time ago from KQRS.”
LOL. It’s called sarcasm. Last time I listened to radio was “some time ago”.
March 15, 2025 at 3:30 pm #2324186I have a usb thing in the truck, haven’t listened to radio in many years. Is Tom Bernard still on KQ? Anyway I have a bunch of stuff I like and no commercials or endless blathering.

March 14, 2025 at 4:41 pm #2323983What Matt said. I have a 50# and if there’s much current I’m going backwards.
March 13, 2025 at 3:13 pm #2323665Sharon you count weird. Everybody I ever played against started with 15’s, then pairs, then runs.

March 9, 2025 at 7:17 am #2322584What is a “wind knot”? I’ve seen the term used in fly fishing, and in that case it’s a result of over powering the cast and has nothing to do with wind. Is your line maybe twisted? That could lead to kinks and snarls.

March 8, 2025 at 3:49 pm #2322540Menards shrunk their aisles and bought these humongous carts. If there’s a cart in the way, a person can’t squeeze past much less another cart.
I miss the old Bartle’s hardware store here in town.

Sorry, somebody was going to make that joke.
We currently have a Shark Navigator and it’s been doing the job. But be forewarned, Shark designs their products so they can’t repaired. They use several sizes of weird fasteners, the plastic pieces snap together so break if you try to get it apart, and even if you do get inside, they don’t have any repair parts available.

The streamer uses Mylar piping for the body, red tag, grey squirel tail for the wing, and hen hackle for the throat. The head is grey dubbing. I’ve caught a lot of Crappies with this fly, as well as my personal best Smallmouth.
The popper is a bug I made out of foam window insulation. The tail is grey squirrel, there’s black saddle hackle in front of that, and I painted it with model airplane paint that comes in the little jars. It floats like a cork and makes a nice deep “blurp”, bit doesn’t hold up really well after a bunch of Largemouth have chewed on it.

March 5, 2025 at 7:04 am #2321753I tie a streamer pattern that uses squirrel tail. It’s slippery and hard to work with, but it looks great in the water. I think my streamer looks like a fathead, who knows what the fish think.

February 21, 2025 at 6:09 pm #2319276” If you follow the law their will no problems.”
That all depends on the CO you encounter. I’ve situations where I wasn’t doing anything wrong, and the CO had absolutely no idea what he was talking about. Know your rights.
SR
February 21, 2025 at 10:43 am #2319148I thought CO were law enforcement officers. Why wouldn’t they operate under the same rules as local PD or state police? Why the need for more new bills?

February 18, 2025 at 6:53 pm #2318487Lake shore owner associations scare me a lot more than the invasive species. They dump herbicide into Lake Demontreville several times a year, year after year. They destroyed a lake that used to be a real treasure. Hope they enjoy running their jet skis around in circles.
