Striped Bass
While North Dakota isn't typically known for its striped bass, some stocking efforts have created limited opportunities in certain areas. Around Pillsbury, ND, your best bet would be to investigate reports from Lake Ashtabula, located a short drive away. While not a guaranteed hotspot, Ashtabula has seen sporadic striped bass stockings in the past. If targeting them, focus on the deeper parts of the lake near the dam or in areas with submerged structure. Spring and fall are generally the best times to fish for stripers as they are more active in cooler water. Trolling large crankbaits or casting swimbaits can be effective techniques. Before heading out, it's crucial to check the latest fishing reports and stocking information from the North Dakota Game and Fish Department to confirm if striped bass are currently present and what regulations apply. Keep in mind, this is a niche fishery, and success may require some patience and persistence.
