Ron Schara: Lost and found… the latest story about my little red knife
This is a story about a little red knife.
Its real name is Victorinox Classic, although most folks would just say it’s in the family of famed Swiss Army knives. My little red knife is about 2 1⁄4 inches long with four specialized blades that are designed for… well, everything. I’m guessing you have one or did have one.

Ron Schara: Want pheasants? It’s always been a simple formula
Looking back, Minnesota pheasant hunters have gotten smarter and pheasant numbers have increased, too. It’s no coincidence. But it hasn’t happened overnight.
For example: Almost unheard of these days are pheasant hunters complaining about predators when bird numbers decline. The connection seems obvious.

Ron Schara: Thinking back on some of the best deer camp stories
It’s almost deer camp time.
Sadly, I won’t be there. Our camp ended a few years ago. Aged hunters; lost hunting land. And so it goes. The camp memories go on, however. Wonderful memories, of course.

Ron Schara: So many waters, so many memories fishing Minnesota
As time goes by, one tends to talk more about physical ailments as well as old memories of times and places gone by. This is a fact. If you doubt it, hang on.
You, too, are aging because time goes by. And soon you’ll will be whining about arthritis or some other problem and you’ll also be telling anybody who will listen about that big muskie that got away umpteen years ago. This I know. So in the spirit of happiness, I shall refrain from complaining about body parts that no longer function as designed. Rather, I’m remembering better moments today.

Ron Schara: Fishing trips with legends of sport and cinema
My, my, that was an awesome 250th birthday party, America.
Wow, 250 years. Where’d that time go? Gosh, America was roughly only 200 years old went I went fishing for the first time with Ron and Al Lindner on Minnesota’s Gull Lake. Seems like only yesterday. However, I didn’t exactly jump at the chance, not knowing who they were.

Ron Schara: How about dock owners pay for use over public water?
A fishing trip is supposed to be a relaxing experience, biting fish or not. However, casting for largemouth bass the other day on Minnesota’s Lake Minnetonka was, well, a grumpy outing. OK, so the bass weren’t exactly jumping into the boat, but that wasn’t the cause of my grumpiness.
My grumpy mood on ’Tonka began to increase as I fished from bay to bay and began realizing the amount of public fishing water that we couldn’t fish.

Ron Schara: Opening day tips aplenty… maybe too many
I’m getting confused.
Again. Happens every countdown to Minnesota’s famed fishing opener, which is May 9 this year. This is when social media blows up with how-to-catch-walleyes advice ahead of the opener. Fish shallow. Well that depends.

Ron Schara: Somebody has to improve fishing in Minnesota… why not you?
With opening day on the horizon – busy checking tackle, cleaning the boat, fixing stuff – this may not be a good time to mention: We Minnesota anglers deserve what we’re not getting.
What the heck does that mean? It means we anglers tend to spend more time wondering what walleyes are doing than wondering what our state legislators are doing or not doing.
