Lots starting to happen around our great state of North Dakota. We are still a little on the warm side yet, but that will change soon enough.
Not sure when exactly they are going to cut the flows on our river here near Bismarck. I’m sure it’s any day now. It is something they do every fall. It usually takes a couple weeks for things to settle in after the initial drop.
As of now we are seeing a few fish around. Actually it seems there are a few fish that never really left. Should be interesting to see how this fall stacks up with last fall on the river. I keep saying, if it’s even half as good it will be a banner fall! Only time will tell.
Sakakawea is a little up and down. One day it’s good the next day it’s a little off. However, if you land on that up day it’s pretty darn good! I think it’s going to be an amazing October up on Sakakawea. If you like salmon they are just now starting to show up shallow. If you don’t have the salmon gear you can now catch them on your regular walleye trolling gear!
Devils Lake if stable weather conditions allow, is really starting to get good right now! For quick and steady results it’s pretty hard to beat trolling cranks. As the water temps start to fall it will continue to get better and better all the way to freeze up!
I’m gonna really start hitting the water hard again this week here near Bismarck. I’ll bring you an up to speed report next Sunday of what I’m seeing here. Lots of trips are booked in October and I’m excited to get back to my roots chasing walleyes on the mighty mo!
