ANNUAL FORT PECK RESERVOIR WALLEYE SPAWNING OPERATION UNDERWAY

Warmer temperatures and melted ice mean the annual walleye spawning operation on Fort Peck Reservoir getting into full swing.

According to Heath Headley, Montana Department of Fish, Wildlife and Parks’ Fort Peck biologist, agency staff and volunteers are again trapping fi sh and taking eggs from areas in the upper Big Dry Arm of the reservoir.

“The reservoir is about 2.5 feet higher than last year,” Headley said, “but we will continue to focus the operation near Nelson Creek.”

FWP staff have been working on setting up spawning barges, holding pens, and test nets since the fi rst week in April, and have begun spawning walleye.

Headley fi gures they are in full operation now. “We are looking to continue until we have our goal for this year, which is 50-60 million eggs.”

“The activities of fi sh are very dependent on water temperatures, and you never know what is going to happen with spring weather in eastern Montana,” Headley noted.

Walleye spawning activity on Fort Peck Reservoir usually doesn’t pick up until the second or third week of April, when water temperatures reach 40-50 degrees.

Last year, FWP staff and volunteers captured 19 different fi sh species for a total of 7,982 fi sh from March 29-April 21. Of that total, 2,672 were walleye.

Female walleye collected averaged 7.2 pounds, with males averaging 1.7 pounds.

The biggest walleye measured was 14.4 pounds.

79 million walleye eggs were collected in 2016, and the Fort Peck and Miles City state fi sh hatcheries maximized production resulting in 2.3-million fi ngerlings and 20.5-million fry stocked back into Fort Peck Reservoir and other water bodies throughout the state.

Folks can follow the 2017 walleye spawn on the FWP Region 6 Facebook page, administered by Region 6 Information and Education Manager by Marc Kloker. Updates will include egg collection totals, status of the spawn, and photos and videos.

“This is a wonderful way to keep the public updated on our walleye egg-collecting efforts on a weekly basis,” Kloker said. “Providing photos and videos of the fi sh, volunteers, and the operation in general will give everyone a virtual fi rst-hand experience. Please “like” and “follow” by going to the Region 6 Facebook page at facebook.com/MontanaFWP.R6.”

DAVE SAYS: Who Is Dave Ramsey?

Dave Ramsey is a personal money management expert, popular national radio personality and the author of three New York Times bestsellers – The Total Money Makeover, Financial Peace Revisited and More Than Enough. In them, Ramsey exemplifies his life’s work of teaching others how to be financially responsible, so they can acquire enough wealth to take care of loved ones, live prosperously into old age, and give generously to others.

DEAR DAVE,

My husband and I own a small business. One of our relatives asked for a job recently, and we both have reservations about hiring him because there are several dysfunctional relationships and personalities within our extended family.

Are we being mean? We’re not sure how to respond. ~Becky Dear Becky,

Having a small business doesn’t give relatives a free pass to employment.

As entrepreneurs, you have the right and responsibility to do what’s best for your company. And you don’t have to hire anyone — even a relative — who’s not a good fit.

There are situations where hiring a family member can actually be a plus.

If a relative is qualified and the kind of person who understands they’ll have to bust it every single day and perform at a level equal to or above your other team members, that can be a special and productive thing. A relative who is a problem child, however, can be a nightmare in both your professional and personal lives.

Ask yourself a few questions: Would you hire this person if they weren’t part of the family? Would you hire this person because they would make a good team member? If the answers are no, then you don’t hire them — period.

Be kind about the situation, because there may be some bruised feelings.

But the bottom line is you have to do what’s best for your business, your immediate family, and your team.

~Dave

DEAR DAVE,

I read where you recommend having your house payment or rent at an amount that’s 25 percent or less of your monthly take-home pay. Does this figure include property taxes and insurance too?

~Mark Dear Mark,

Yes, it does. I’m trying to keep you from being “house poor.” Did you know you can qualify for a house payment, with taxes and insurance, that’s close to half of your take-home pay? That’s ridiculous! When you don’t have room in your budget to do anything else that matters because your house payment is so large, that’s what we call house poor.

When your income minus your basic living expenses equals almost nothing, it means your basic living expenses are way too high. Being in this kind of situation keeps you from saving for really important stuff like investing, retirement, and college for your kids. I’m trying to position you where you can get the house and everything paid off so you can become wealthy. Remember, your most powerful wealth building tool is your income.

When we talk about driving a crappy car, not going out to eat, or not going on vacation — those are temporary things. It’s all about living like no one else, so that later you can live and give like no one else!

~Dave

FOUND CELL PHONE When a customer left his cell phone in the store, the store owner scrolled through his saved numbers, stopped at "Mom" and pushed send.

His mother answered, and the store owner explained to her what happened.

"Don't worry," she said, "I'll take care of it."

A few minutes later, the cell phone rang. It was "Mom." "Martin," she said, "you left your cell phone at the convenience store."

Ramblings of a Conservative Cow Doctor

by Krayton Kerns, DVM, former State Rep. HD 58

April Fools’ Day

During normal times, it would be senseless to print an April Fools’ column the second week of April. These are not normal times. Last Saturday, social media was flooded with imaginative fabrications so preposterous even the most gullible readers recognized them as fiction. My favorites were the Laurel City Council announcing my hometown was now a sanctuary city and Wyoming’s Game and Fish Commission releasing 90 kangaroos on the eastern plains. When limited to a frequency of one day per year, these little literary pranks are harmless. However, the fibs published the other 364 days dilutes the single day spent spoofing fools and this immediately brings me to my point.

America faces perilous times due to propagandizing by print, video, radio and web-based journalists. This is professional neglect. At our republic’s founding, the independent media served as an essential fourth branch of government by accurately reporting factual news to the citizenry who formulated opinions based on the rule of law and the absolutes of right and wrong. Sadly, those times have passed and here is why.

Progressivism, Marxism and socialism are synonymous terms in that all three shift power and freedom from the unwashed to the ruling class. President Woodrow Wilson introduced this ideology and FDR expanded it by trapping America’s retirees in Social Security. LBJ tightened the noose around the necks of seniors with Medicare and then snared the poverty class with Medicaid and other welfare programs. President Obama kicked the chair from beneath the not-yet-lynched Americans with Obamacare and somewhere between Wilson and Obama, journalists became indoctrinated, Marxist advocates. Today, it is all they know and report.

After a century, this blinding bias has reduced news stories to fiction as reliable as the story regarding the 90 Cowboy State kangaroos. For example, evidence suggests National Security Advisor Susan Rice illegally surveilled Trump’s associates, yet this story is being intentionally tanked by most mainstream journalists. CNN’s Don Lemon dismissed the entire story as a “fake scandal ginned up by the right-wing media.” Democrats are deviously blaming President Trump’s victory on collusion with the Russians and the media is advancing this fabrication. In truth, President Obama’s operatives illegally spied on Americans so as to prevent Trump’s election or obstruct his developing administration.

Surveilling Trump is no April Fools’ fib and it will not be reported in the state sponsored media. Leftist journalists are not bound by truth.
