It's been quite the week up here on Lake Sakakawea. If you are a duck it would have been awesome. Lots of wind and rain, but amazingly enough the walleyes still bit…kind of. Blue collar, grind, leather ass are just a few terms I could use to explain the bite on...
My lake days on both Devils Lake and Lake Sakakawea are slowly winding down. I still have the rest of September booked, but mostly Sakakawea before I drop down to the river near Bismarck for October and November, weather permitting. We did have a great first half of...
If you have been paying attention to the recent NWT Championship held up here on Devils Lake, I'm sure it opened a few eyes. The weights these guys caught were incredible! Devils Lake proves once again why it's one of the top walleye fisheries in the country. Let's be...
Like most years, I usually take a couple day break over my birthday (September 2nd) to recharge my batteries and my boat batteries. This year has been a busy season no doubt. It has also been probably one of the best years fishing wise I have seen. I know we had a...
It's hard to believe we are already at the beginning of school and football season. Summer buzzed by us way too quickly here. I still have quite a few days left here of guiding on both Devils Lake and Lake Sakakawea, so here it goes. I just left devils mid week. When...
It's been a great week up here on Devils Lake. We have caught lots of fish and they are ranging in every size imaginable! The lake is healthy with small fish and a nice mix of bigger fish. The combination of good spawning and good management of the system just keeps...
This report will be a quick version of what I know on two bodies of water and what I've heard on another. Once again, my job has taken me to both Devils Lake and Lake Sakakawea this week. I'll start with Sakakawea. I know I sound like a broken record when I talk about...
It's funny how I was a little reluctant to leave Devils Lake in my last report. Like all the previous ones, I'm here to tell everyone once again we are definitely spoiled here in North Dakota! Thank you ND Game and Fish for doing a wonderful job of keeping these...
If you are looking to catch fish and a lot of nice eating size fish. Look no further because Devils Lake is your destination! I just had a couple week guiding stint there, and I am usually really excited to change things up for a bit. To be honest with you, it's going...
I've made the switch over to Devils Lake here for a couple weeks. One observation from here is the future of this lake is going to be great! We are seeing tons of 10 to 12 inch walleyes mixed in with the keeper fish. It doesn't seem to matter where you are at they are...
I have a few more days on the big pond of Sakakawea before heading back to Devils Lake for a couple weeks. The trend is the fish are definitely deeper. They are out in the bauratrama range no doubt. I hope anglers are paying attention to this because honestly any fish...
Lake Sakakawea since my arrival June 15th has risen probably 12 feet roughly. Maybe more maybe less. The fact of the matter with that much water is it tends to spread the fish out a tad. The one thing I have noticed a lot this week is how the fish from hour to hour...
As we turning the corner and headed towards the back 9 of the fishing before the fall bite. Things continue to be incredibly good up here on Sakakawea. The fish are being caught all over this body of water at the moment. No need to pile into the packs of boats. Find a...
It's been a week of changing weather with a little of everything up here on Sakakawea. This report may seem off to some and spot on to others. I guess depending on what part of the lake you are on this report will seem inaccurate. This week we have seen many of the...
Gotta give a shout out to the ND Game and Fish! For a guide like myself to be able to guide the Missouri River, Devils Lake and now Sakakawea and to have the fishing we do, all I can say is we are spoiled. Fishing on all 3 of these bodies of water remains out of...
If you are from Bismarck, you will know exactly what I mean when I say the beacon is green, and no change foreseen. This would be how I would describe the fishing in North Dakota right now. For me I have another few days yet on Devils Lake before heading west. Devils...
The secret is out! North Dakota fishing right now is absolutely going bonkers pretty much everywhere you wet a line. As most of you know who follow my reports, I'm currently up here on Devils Lake. No secret Devils Lake is always a top producer in the world of...
My change of scenery up here to Devils Lake definitely hasn't disappointed. However, I think if folks are fishing any of our major bodies of water like Devils, Sakakawea, Missouri River, or Lake Oahe, they are going to find unreal fishing right now. It seems all...
