More than just racing
The Cook County Nordic Ski Team traveled to the Korkki Nordic Ski Center in Duluth on January 3 to compete in the Two Harbors Invite. It is not just the racing that makes this trip special for our team. The place itself is very special. Ski center just does not describe it well. It’s really a cozy, rustic cabin in […]

Where are the fish biting?
Here’s the latest from Jon at Hardware Hank’s: It seems as if most fishermen are getting ready for the trout opener for outside the B.W.C.A. this week. Not a whole lot of action on the walleye front from what I’m hearing. As you get ready for the weekend, the ice is good. I’ve seen 18 inches of ice in a […]
Conservation Officer Tales
Although the Cook County News-Herald knows that the majority of sportsmen and women are law-abiding folks, there are a few that run afoul of the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (DNR) Conservation Officers. Periodically, the DNR provides a report of some of the miscreants the Conservation Officers (CO) have encountered. The News-Herald shares these stories as a reminder to all […]
Finally— Dupre departs for Denali’s summit
A dither, a dather, a too warm winter in Talkeetna, Alaska was turning Lonnie Dupre’s plans all a blather as he patiently waited for the weather to clear so he could begin his third attempt at climbing Mount McKinley (Denali) in January, the darkest, coldest month of the year on the mountain. Wondering whether the wimpy weather was ever going […]
Be aware of ice conditions
Back in December, Cook County Law Enforcement took a report of an all-terrain vehicle (ATV) sunk in Clara Lake in Lutsen.

Wahlstrom said by the time conservation […]
Everyone in the woods
It’s only been two weeks of Boundary Waters trout fishing and I am already tired of it. Don’t get me wrong, fishing for trout is more fun than most of the alternatives right now but I am ready for all of the lakes to be open. So many lakes and so little time. Hiking in the B-Dub to fish for […]
