We sit down with the 5 South Dakota regional fish managers and talk about the open water fishing season. Winterkill, drought, spawning, stocking, and even dinosaurs are on the table!

We are in the middle of it all! Wildlife Director Tom Kirschenmann tells us that pheasant season is just starting to cook, BH deer, WR deer on the horizon, fishing, waterfowl, and some cool land acquisitions that folks need to know about!

Every year, the South Dakota State Parks have a theme to get folks out enjoying new experiences in the outdoors. This year's theme is Reel In The Memories and is a cool opportunity to fish, earn prizes and maybe even a vacation. Take a listen to learn the details!

We sit down with two of Pheasants Forever's finest, Bob St. Pierre and Chris Kallis.
