    Paul Dragu|Updated Jan 15, 2016

    While the sun above them struggled to burst through, 41 bundled-up third-graders from Lincoln-McKinley Primary School spent Tuesday morning catching yellow perch through the drilled holes of the Kremlin Town Pond. It was 9 a.m. and instructor Dave Hagengruber was holding a short fishing pole and telling the surrounding kids to spread out once they get on the ice. His last piece of advice was to have fun and catch fish. “How many did you catch? Thousands, right?” he said, ref...

By the time I went to sleep I had bought a ranch, populated it with rare and expensive horses and hired a ranc...

    Updated Jan 15, 2016

    Laurel: Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks and Havre Public Schools have launched a great program “Hooked On Fishing — Not On Drugs.” Kids from Lincoln-McKinley Primary School were taken ice fishing Tuesday, offering them an introduction to a wholesome sport many may not have had the opportunity to partake in.
