Lake Sakakawea Fishing Report – July 27th Update

The bite is picking up again on the west end of Lake Sakakawea, and we’re seeing more consistency as we head into the heart of summer!

Fish location is still a bit day-to-day—some mornings we’re finding walleyes shallow in 8–12 feet, especially early or with some wind, and other days they’ve slid out deeper into 18–25+. The key is to trust your electronics and don’t be afraid to cover water. If you’re marking fish, stick with it and change up your approach until they respond.

Presentation-wise, there’s no silver bullet—spinners, slow death rigs, crankbaits, jig raps and jigs/plastics are all producing depending on conditions. Some days they want it moving, other days it’s a subtle presentation that gets it done. Be flexible and dial in what they want that day.

The west end is coming alive again—now’s a great time to book your trip and get in on the action.
