Just signed up on this site, been fishing Lake Darling and Grano for the last 6 years. Took my girls out to Grano today and caught 4 Northern's ranging from 20-24 inches. The week before we caught 6 Northern's ranging from 19-24.5 inches, all from shore. There hot on bright colored spinners, especially orange and bright green. The kiddos and I are glad to become part of the fishing buddy network!!

Very very windy but other than that lots of nice ones. Left with 3 but missed 2 very nice ones. Was using spinners and minnows and crawlers. The action was still going as i left last night as i was the only boat out besides some people fishing for bullheads. |

Sakakawea or just bellow it on the Missouri is your best bet for catfish near Minot, Check out the last issue of ND Outdoors. It has a good article about catfishing on the Missouri.

Grano Crossing - Tuesday, July 27, 2010 | |
went out to Grano this past weekend on the 24 and had a amazing day. Fished about a quarter mile down from the bridge on the darling side. Caught about a dozen walleye all small, but fun to catch on rapalas. Caught about 9 pike between my buddy and i all on minnows. and a couple dinky perch. overall the action was coninutous and fun even though there werent too many keepers. |

LUCAS knows damn right. Able to have my annual 4th fish fry using a spinnerbait from the shore.
If you're not a big "fish" guy/gal. Pike is for you. It tastes vaguely like something, which is great for me!! Anyways, learn to clean these slimy, finger lacerating SOBs; keep a few larger "hammer handles" and relish the beer-batter goodness. I soaked my fillets in a mild saltwater/lemon juice solution overnight and was pleased. I did channel cat from the Tailrace soaked in Mt. Dew last year. Very good. This Darling pike was better. You can tell you're eating fish by the texture. |

Fished Grano on Sunday, only got one small walleye about 8" and one small northern maybe 14".
Sunday, 13 June I was at Grano with another guy and we got 3 walleyes, 17 - 18.75". and about 7 of those small northerns and 4 small perch. what happened to all the good walleye fishing? |

Activity is high on the lake, but there are no fish with size. the biggest perch was maybe 10" which is really small in my book. Not much of a fillet on those fish. Throw them back and let them grow. Biggest walleye was 7". Fished both the west and east end in search for bigger fish......no luck. It is a good time to take a kid out because they will be busy, but throw the little ones back!!!

Not a bad day today the fish were biting like crazy Caught easily around 20 Perch descent size. 1 Walleye I had on the hook and got off before I could net him. 3 Northern Pikes, released 2 of them back as they were still a little small, the one I kept was almost at 24 inches. I was fishing on the west side of the lake in the weeds over by the long dock with the restrooms.
