At the North Dakota Game and Fish Department we pride ourselves in maintaining some of the most varied hunting and fishing in the nation. For anglers, North Dakota has hundreds of places to fish for walleye, northern pike, bass, perch, trout, and bluegill. Lake Sakakawea is nationally recognized for its Chinook salmon and walleye fishing. The Red River is famous for its trophy-sized catfish. For hunters, North Dakota is the ultimate for duck and goose hunting, which comes as no surprise because we lead the nation in annual duck production.
Deer hunters look forward to next year's season all year long.
From just about anywhere in the state, hunters and anglers can find a multitude of hunting and fishing choices. At the top of this page, note the row of tabs. Each of these tabs takes you to one of the major areas in our site.
