BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – North Dakota’s Game and Fish Department has wrapped up surveys and sampling efforts for the open water season.
Fisheries Chief Greg Power says the results point toward good conditions in the state’s three big fisheries.
Power says good habitat and forage conditions in Lake Sakakawea have resulted in an abundance of rainbow smelt and other forage, which in turn has contributed to excellent condition and growth of game fish such as walleye and northern pike.
Walleye and northerns also are plentiful in Devils Lake, though the number of catchable-size perch is down.
The Missouri River between Garrison Dam and Lake Oahe is still under the influence of habitat changes caused by the 2011 flood. But the outlook has improved greatly in Lake Oahe, especially near the South Dakota border.

Peterson pleaded no contest last week to misdemeanor reckless assault.

NEW YORK (AP) – Chicago White Sox first baseman Jose Abreu (ah-BRAY’-oo) is a unanimous winner of the AL rookie honor.

PIERRE, S.D. (AP) – Forecasters are predicting up to 16 inches of accumulating snow for parts of northern Wisconsin today, and up to 2 feet is expected in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula by tomorrow as artic air pushes south. And behind the snow is some very cold air with the Midwest and the East expecting temperatures as much as 40 degrees below average as the week progresses. The mess is thanks to a powerful storm that hit Alaska with hurricane-force winds over the weekend.
NEW YORK (AP) – U.S. officials continue to monitor hundreds of people for signs of the Ebola virus but there are no current cases in the country.

BAGHDAD (AP) – Officials say a military victory by Iraqi soldiers battling the Islamic State group also serves as a morale booster after initial losses that saw many troops flee the IS onslaught. A military official says troops recaptured the heart of the town of Beiji, home to Iraq’s largest oil refinery. That could put troops in position to attack neighboring Tikrit, also taken by the extremists after their lightning advance this summer.
