Striped Bass
While not a traditional striped bass destination, some North Dakota reservoirs, including those relatively close to Ruso, have seen experimental striped bass stocking programs. Lake Sakakawea, while a bit of a drive, is the most likely place you might find them. However, it's crucial to understand that these are not widespread or well-established fisheries. If you're dedicated to targeting stripers, focus your efforts on the deeper, main-lake areas during the cooler months (spring and fall). Trolling large crankbaits or swimbaits is a common technique. Be sure to check the latest North Dakota Game and Fish Department regulations regarding striped bass, as there may be specific size or creel limits. Realistically, targeting walleye or northern pike in these waters is a much more reliable option.
