N.D. (NewsDakota.com) – North Dakota is in the midst of a January melt with recent temperatures reaching up in to the high 30’s this past week.

The Game & Fish Department is reporting that this is great for both the wildlife and state ice anglers.

Doug Leier is a State Outreach Biologist. He says that the recent hardships created by winter were rough in the state.

Leier says that anglers should take advantage of the recent warm-up as it might not be this way much longer. He also reported on some current legislation that might affect outdoor activities in the state.
