I spoke about this on my weekly radio show here this week. We have a huge forage run happening right now on the river near Bismarck.

This has created a little bit of difficulty in getting the fish to bite. We are getting them to eat but it’s taking a bit of coaxing to do so.

I’m seeing everything from smelt, shiners, fatheads, baby white bass, baby drum and even bullheads in the bellies of these fish. The walleyes we are catching are extremely healthy as well.

The future of the entire system is definitely bright if we can keep enough water down in Lake Oahe.

Still able to catch the fish we are catching with jigs and minnows. This week we are catching way more fish slipping the current staying vertical. My hope is these fish are gonna continue to put the feed bag on as the water temps continue to fall. I think once the switch is flipped it’s going to be crazy! I just hope it happens before the snow flies.

I still have openings for anyone looking to get out one last time! Get ahold of me if you want to get out again for your last hooray.
