Lake Oahe Fishing Guide
Lake Oahe, ND Fishing Guide
The meaning of Oahe stands for a foundation or a place to stand on. If you ask me what Oahe means, it means lots of water, cool scenery, and tons of hungry and willing walleyes!
This system is the holding pen for the Missouri Rivers walleyes during the summer months especially. All those fish we see every spring and fall up here near Bismarck, are only a small portion of what stack up by the millions in certain stretches of Lake Oahe.
Honestly, at times it can feel like every walleye in the State of North Dakota is living here. Crankbaits and bottom bouncers with spinners and slow death are the lures of choice to cover this massive flowing body of water. Another couple of hidden gems on this portion of the Missouri River are the world-class Crappies and Northern pike!
Once you arrive at Oahe you will see the beauty of this landscape and it is simply breathtaking! I would love to take bring you out on this spectacular body of water!
HONEST LAKE OAHE FISHING REPORTS
Missouri River Fishing Report-October 23rd, 2021
I put out a post earlier this week about the condition of the fish on the Missouri River. The fish are definitely on the skinny side. The good news is the water temps are falling and these fish should begin to feed heavily. We finally experienced our first hard frost...
Fish Condition on the Missouri River-October 21, 2021
This is kind of a fishing report (I'll still post one this weekend) but I wanted to write on the condition of the Missouri River near Bismarck as I see it from being on the water fishing everyday. disclaimer I am not a Game and Fish Biologist, this is merely what I'm...
Lake Sakakawea and Missouri River Fishing Report-October 16th, 2021
It's been a rough week weather wise. I did fish one day on Sakakawea and one day on the Missouri River near Bismarck. I'll start with Lake Sakakawea out of Indian Hills Resort. We had a ton of wind and our first cold snap of the season. We marked a ton of fish in the...
Missouri River Fishing Report-October 2nd, 2021
I have finally begun my fall transition to the river here near Bismarck. Water is super low, and the structure has changed, but the fish are starting to show themselves and for me this is the most exciting time of the year! Before I go all in on this river report....
North Dakota Fishing Report- September 12th, 2021
It's been a relatively slower week of fishing for me. I did chase musky one day. I chased walleyes on the river south of Bismarck one day and fished Devils Lake one day guiding. So I guess this is going to be a mixed report. I'll start with the Musky day. We never...
Missouri River Fishing Report-May 23rd, 2021
Just when I thought there was little chance at a really big walleye, boom goes the thump on a jig and presto! 33 inch monster Missouri River Walleye. The one thing this last of a string of big post spawn walleyes has taught me, is never count a big fish in the system...
