How is the fishing this year after the winter kill. I marked a lot just running my boat around late spring but we were unable to catch a thing.

Went out a week ago and caught a couple perch. Ice thickness is good 8-10inches. Marked a lot of fish but getting them to bite is the problem.

Wondering if the ice is thick enough on Odlands to start the year out! Looking forward to starting the season.

I heard the perch fishing has been a little better lately. Is this true?

Any word on how the fishing has been for the perch/walleye on Odlands? Just wondering if the rumor on it being winter killed is a fact or not. Don't need to know where your catching them, just if anyone is catching anything the past month. Thanks.

Fished Odlands in January a couple of days. Small Northern caught and the fish were all up close to ice. Dropped camera down and dead fish everywhere (unless they are taking a hell of a nap on the bottom) looks like Odlands is going to have another year of winter kill. Dont waste time even going out there!

Caught one extremely small northern the whole day jigging, and only marked a few other fish on my vexilar on 1/9/10. Haven't been back since, but talking with the game warden that checks there frequently the fishing has been really slow. Hopefully towards last ice it will pick up.

Has anyone been out since the nice weather hit?? Thinking the fish might be turned back on with the good weather.

Several North Dakota Lakes Suffer Winterkill A long winter caused a prolonged ice pack, and coupled with near-record snowfall throughout much of the state, resulted in conditions that made it difficult for fish in some lakes to receive enough oxygen to survive.
Scott Gangl, fisheries management section leader for the North Dakota Game and Fish Department, said 37 winterkills have been confirmed so far. The majority were in the western half of the state, where lake water levels were very low going into winter.
“The winter of 2008-09 was on par with the epic winter of 1996-97, when 46 lakes experienced winterkill,” Gangl said. “Similar to that winter, all is not lost.”
Fisheries personnel have already started restocking efforts on some lakes that experienced winterkill. “We are stocking with hatchery raised fish, or fish transported from another lake with an abundance of the preferred species,” Gangl said. “These fish may take a while to grow to catchable size, but in two to three years there should be populations of fish for anglers to catch.”
The severity of a die-off may vary by lake, but usually there are some fish left in the lake. “Most of the lakes that experienced winterkill are prone to die-offs,” Gangl said. “So while there was some disappointment in losing good fisheries, there weren’t many surprises.”
Fisheries biologists are in the process of sampling suspected winterkill lakes to document the severity of the die-offs. Biologists use three levels to describe the severity of a fish kill: total, where all fish died; significant, where the game fish population is greatly reduced; or partial, where dead fish were observed but game fish are still present.
Confirmed lakes with winterkill are listed by fisheries management districts. Anglers can contact the local Game and Fish Department fisheries supervisor to get more information on the status of these lakes, or to report fish kills that may not be on the list.

In addition, East Spring Lake Pond in Williams County, Watford City Park Pond in McKenzie County, Beach City Pond in Golden Valley County, Belfield Pond and Dickinson Dike in Stark County, and Gaebe Pond in Morton County suffered fish kills this winter. However, those ponds are stocked with catchable size fish, typically consisting of trout, sunfish or catfish. Anglers visiting these ponds may notice some dead fish, but there are recently stocked fish to catch. |
