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!

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...
North Dakota Fishing Report-June 4th, 2023

ND Fishing Report-May 28th, 2023
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...
Missouri River Fishing Report-May 21st, 2023
It's definitely hard for me to believe this is my last Missouri River fishing report until fall. For me it just never felt like we had a spring. Late ice off, muddy water, terrible weather etc just made for a frustrating time. I'm hoping Mother Nature repays us with a...
Missouri River Fishing Report-May 14th, 2023
These past two weeks on the Missouri River near Bismarck have been a fast forwarded version of normal. Good friend and past Big Muddy Winner Corey Perman had to remind me that the walleyes in this system are like death and taxes. At some point they will show...
Missouri River Fishing Report-May 7th, 2023
I've seen a lot of things over my 40 plus years fishing the Missouri River. Yesterdays (May 6th) Big Muddy Tournament was one for both the record books and the memory bank. This spring has been a tough one. The fish were slow to arrive. Coupled with lots of them...
