KZNA-FM 90.5 serving northwest Kansas will be off the air starting the afternoon of Monday, October 20 through Friday as we replace its aging and unreliable transmitter. While we're off-air, you can keep listening to our digital stream directly above this alert or on the HPPR mobile app. This planned project is part of our ongoing commitment to maintaining free and convenient access to public radio service via FM radio to everyone in the listening area. For questions please contact station staff at (800) 678-7444 or by emailing hppr@hppr.org

Stripers.... mmm mmm good!

Each year about this time, thousands of sea gulls converge on Lake Texoma, situated on the Texas/Oklahoma border and striper fishing becomes red hot.  Stripers are feeding heavily now, pushing shad to the surface and the gulls point savvy anglers to schools of feeding fish! 
 Join Luke and guest Larry Sparks with Sparky's Guide Service.  Last week we learned how to catch these hard fighting fish.  This week we'll learn how to cook them.
