What an interesting week on Lake Sakakawea. Lots of things happening all at the same time. In my line of work it definitely keeps me on my toes. The fish have decided to go deep! Or have they? I'll get to this in a minute. Of course if you...

Devils Lake Fishing Report- August 16th, 2026
Most of this week was spent up on Devils Lake guiding. I know Devils has gotten a bad rap as of late. I do think it a tad unfair to catagorize it this way. I touched on it a bit in last weeks report, but I'll touch on it again. The fish you...
ND Fishing Report-August 9th, 2026
It's been a tale of two lakes this week for me. My first half started up on Sakakawea where things just continue to buzz with great fishing. My second half was spent on Devils Lake. It's definitely not fair to compare the two lakes at this...
Lake Sakakawea Fishing Report-August 2nd, 2026
Not much has changed up here on Lake Sakakawea. If you are looking for unreal fishing, this is the place to be right now! Fish are remaining fairly shallow for this time of year. Most of the fish are staying in that 14 to 20 fow range. Remember...
ND Fishing Report-July 26th, 2026
So I split my time this week chasing walleyes on the big lake of Sakakawea and chasing bass and musky over on Audubon. We had a great week catching both the walleyes and bass. If I was a diehard musky fisherman I guess seeing the one we did is a victory...
Lake Sakakawea Fishing Report-July 19th, 2026
Things just continue to impress me up here on Lake Sakakawea. We have had days where it's not fishing it's catching. Lots of fish and a lot of really nice fish. We have released a countless amount of fish over 20 inches all the way up to 27...
Lake Sakakawea Fishing Report-July 12th, 2026
Just like the old soap opera As the world turns. I'll call this fishing report as the prop spins. Fishing remains excellent up here on Lake Sakakawea. Bordering on catching not fishing at times. Lots of forage in the lake keeping these fish...
Missouri River and Sakakawea Fishing Report-July 5th, 2026
Sorry I'm getting this one out a day late. Busy holiday weekend of fishing, boating, fireworks, and family! Anyway, the fishing especially on and Sakakawea just continues to impress. The quality and quantity are abundant and willing. The best...
Lake Sakakawea Fishing Report-June 28th, 2026
If you have been following my reports this spring and summer. It's no secret I've been fishing pretty much every day since March 13th. The unfortunate part since then, is I think the wind has blown just about as much as I have fished! This week up on...
Lake Sakakawea Fishing Report-June 21st, 2026
What a week it has been up on Lake Sakakawea! Between good fishing, up and down weather (wind), minor boat repairs, great clients, it's been memorable. The fish on Sakakawea right now are extremely healthy! I'm surprised we are actually able to get...
Devils Lake Fishing Report-June 14th, 2026
With the goofy spring and now early summer weather. The fishing on Devils has been a little up and down also. I have been on the water pretty much everyday since March 15th. I have never seen such tough weather. Especially the wind. I honestly...
Devils Lake Fishing Report-June 7th, 2026
Since leaving the Missouri River this spring, one thing hasn't changed. The weather this spring and early summer has been one of the worst I can remember. Zero consistency. With the lack of consistency in the weather the fishing on Devils Lake has...
ND Fishing Report and AIM Championship recap-May 31st, 2026
This fishing report will be more of a recap of my week spent over in Wisconsin fishing the Aim National Championship. I will add a little local North Dakota report in here also. For starters, the Aim Nationals was a pretty loaded up field of anglers...
North Dakota Fishing Report 5-24-26
It's been a roller coaster of a ride up here on Devils Lake. Between the wind, temperature changes and now throw in a massive big hatch. The bite has been really grindy. We were catching plenty of fish. Just not always the ones you...
ND Fishing Report- May 17th, 2026
Well, I wish I could say the weather has been phenomenal. Unfortunately, I cannot, and the fishing has gone just like the weather here in North Dakota. One day good, 3 days not so much. If you want consistency, I'll guarantee you lots of wind! ...
Missouri River Fishing Report-May 10th, 2026
You know I'm getting busy when I can't remember what day it is to write a fishing report. So I apologize for this one getting out late this week. Fishing on the Missouri River near Bismarck is absolutely fantastic right now! If you have kids now is...
Missouri River Fishing Report-May 3rd, 2026
It's been an interesting week on the Missouri River. Of course everyone knows the Big Muddy tournament was yesterday (Saturday). This tournament for me is marks I'm nearing the end of my spring guiding. I would love if the springs would last...
Missouri River Fishing Report- April 26th, 2026
The spawn is on. I'm never overly excited about the spawn on the river each spring. It always marks me nearing the end of my spring river guiding. The one thing I'll say however, is it's definitely earlier this spring. Not sure if thats due...
