I have a couple month stint in Minot for work through June and July. Looking for a couple spots to shore fish. Does anyone have any recommendations? I'm willing to drive 1/2-1 hour to find a good spot to try. Don't care about species, just would like to get into a couple fish.

Thanks!

Do an internet search for Trophy Tackle in Minot. From what I have heard he runs a helpful baitshop.

You might want to look at Lake Darling to the northwest. There are some bridges to maybe check out and also the area below the dam. Northerns and Walleyes.

For some numbers action on Northerns you may want to check out Nelson - Carlson Lakes south and a little west of Minot. I believe there is a sign pointing to them on hwy 83.

Catfish in the river in town? Just a guess.

Just going off of some things that I have read. Good luck.

The lake darling fishing / recreation area is nice just north of town. Any of the bridges in minot are good for a few walleyes.

If you want to drive a little the tail race at garrison dam offers some of the best shore fishing any where. Walleyes, pike, salmon, brown trout. Can all be caught at the dam

Thanks for some of the replies. I tried an overpass area on the Souris River yesterday on the east side of Minot. Caught a handful of small bullheads. At least it was a gorgeous day out!

Will have to try some other areas this week.

When I pulled up to the boat landing on Sakakawea yesterday there was an older couple there shore fishing. The had 3 Northerns on a stringer including a beauty in the upper 30" range. I would say the potential to catch a fish like that exist anywhere that you can cast into 5-6 feet of water.
