STATE OF NORTH DAKOTAOffice of the Governor“The charm of fishing is that it is the pursuit ofwhat is elusive but attainable, a perpetual series ofoccasions for hope.” – John BuchanDo you remember the joy of catching yourfirst fish? In the days before digital camerasand smartphones, how many rolls of filmwere spent each summer capturing thoseGovernormagic moments of a child’s first catch on theDoug Burgumboat, dock or shoreline?Like many North Dakotans, I have fond memories of fishingwith my father and other family members and friends.Today, our state offers more opportunities than ever to createsuch memories.North Dakota now has more than 400 public fishing watersand more managed fishing waters and walleye lakes than at anytime in recorded history. That means more places from which toview our impressive prairie sunsets and more places where fishat the end of a line will bring smiles to young and old alike.For some, going fishing is a quest to sort of “get away from itall,” to find some space to get a line in the water and just sit backand relax for a while.For others, it’s a chance to spend time with family or friends,or to put their skills with a rod and reel to the test.Whether casting a lure into the waves or dangling a linethrough the ice, North Dakota anglers can enjoy more securepublic access areas and improved fish populations thanks to thehard work of our state Game and Fish Department. And, thanksto our state Parks and Recreation Department, at least a dozenof our state parks offer access to fishing waters, including ourtwo largest water bodies, Devils Lake and Lake Sakakawea.As new fishing waters have developed, Game and Fish hasalso put considerable effort into available technologies andmapping resources so anglers can find these waters, knowthe locations of public access sites or boat ramps, see contourmaps, and even view photos of many areas from the air and fromthe ground.It’s a great time to go fishing in North Dakota, and this guide,and the Game and Fish website at gf.nd.gov, can help you planyour next outing.Good luck!This guide is provided for informational purposes and is notintended as a complete listing of regulations. For more specificinformation on regulations and laws, visit the Game and FishDepartment website (for proclamations) or for North Dakota statelaws go to legis.nd.gov/cencode/T20-1.html.3
