Things have really changed in the past couple of weeks on the river near Bismarck. We are seeing a push of fish moving up from Lake Oahe. Along with this push there are even a few unicorns have shown themselves. The fish are extremely healthy looking...
It's improving slowly but surely out here on the Missouri River/Lake Oahe just south of Bismarck. The migration fish coming out of Oahe are slowly trickling up the river right now. Not in huge numbers, but definitely moving. I think we are almost on...
Things have definitely improved here locally as far as the fishing goes. We are just now seeing a trickle of fish moving up into the river. Not in huge numbers, but for sure more prevalent than a couple weeks ago. On average we are seeing more of...
Things are still not progressing on the river yet like I had hoped. There are a few (very few) select spots that if you can get in them first thing in the morning or right before dark you'll catch some fish. Unfortunately, these fish are fish that summer...
I wish I had a better fishing report from the river here near Bismarck for everyone. To be honest, the fishing was way better two weeks ago. For me right now out there it feels like mid September fishing rather than mid October. Water is still too...
Once again I apologize for getting this out later than expected. I'm coaching Team ND on the weekends so my Sundays are games and traveling. I'm back now and I do have a fishing report for you. I spent a couple days south on the river near Bismarck...
Sorry this is a bit late this Sunday. Like I always say, better late than never I guess. Things are starting to shape up on Lake Sakakawea. The fish are beginning to change their mood and have begun to feed again. Jigs with crawlers and minnows...
Hard for me to believe my guiding up on Sakakawea is now officially over for the season. Feels like only yesterday I hen I was traveling across ND from Devils Lake with excitement of getting back on the big lake. The interesting part for me is I've heard a...
What an interesting week on Lake Sakakawea. I will apologize, but this report is going to be long. I promise you though, you will want to read it to the end, especially if you plan to fish Sakakawea anytime soon! I tested the waters as a guide for a...
Sorry this report is getting to everyone a little later than usual today. I was away coaching a little hockey and got back a little late. Anyway, for me personally I haven't been out much here this past week. Still working through my health issues...
The good news is I've been able to limp out on the water for short stints here this past week. I'm still not in guiding shape so when I get tired or don't feel good I can get off. The good part about not being out on the water long right now is the fish...
I'm happy to report that the doctors gave me the ok to try get back on the water a little. I didn't go crazy by any means, but did get out a couple of times this week and it sure felt good. I'm definitely not a 100 percent but it was nice to get out to see...
For me personally this week, I obviously haven't been able to get on the water yet. I am however cleared for now to return to normal everyday activities until October 6th. October 6th I have to go back to the doctors office to plan things for my future. Of...
So this report isn't gonna talk much about fishing. I will put a little bit about it in here, but my main focus is to thank everyone who has taken the time to send me a message, support my go fund me, or a quick call or text. So if this one gets a little longer bare...
Just because I've been laid up in a hospital the second half of the week. Doesn't mean I can't get you a decent fishing report. I've had a goofy week of fishing to say the least. The weather was my first obstacle. Lots of rain and wind early in the...
So this fishing report will be for both Lake Sakakawea and Devils Lake. I spent half the week on Sak and the other half on Devils. Amazing to think it's already the end of July and we are closing into what most people consider the dog days of walleye fishing....
It's definitely been a curveball up here on Sakakawea. East winds, more east winds and goofy weather has made me have to move around more than weeks past. Sometimes you land on the bite right away. Other days it takes a little while to track down what I'm...
What a crazy week up here on Lake Sakakawea! I don't know if the ND Game and Fish know this yet, but your management of this walleye gem is really shining right now! Especially on the east end of the lake! I've been able to mix and match my trips as of...
