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!

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...
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-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...
