    What do you consider "East End" Lake Sakakawea?

    I should say from the East point of Douglas bay to 83. Douglas bay is a whole different area in it's own.

    Trout Taxidermy

    I don't do trout or salmon yet, but there's very few taxidermists in the US I'd want to do a big trout for me. Go to www.taxidermy.net and ask for recommendations in their fish forum. Be prepared to spend some money. Make sure you have length and girth measurements and lots of photos.

    Salmon on top?

    The lake turns over every year around labor day weekend, that's when the salmon start running shallower. Labor day weekend is when I start casting for them.

    Cleaning Fish

    Damn, hope I never get checked after I clean a limit of pike. I end up with 16 pieces per pike after it's deboned.

    East end lake Sakakawea walleye fishing

    The only thing better about the East end is there's waaay less people. And if your net moves, you usually won't have a dozen boats buzzing around you. There's no "hot" time of year out there, it's inconsistent. But many walleyes are caught on that end of the lake.

    Keeping fish alive

    YouTube will give you better instructions, but you basically insert the needle into the belly to release air pressure built up in the swim bladder, so they can right themselves in the livewell.

    Keeping fish alive

    I bleed em out in one live well for 15-20 minutes, then throw them on ice in the other live well. - - - Updated - - - Warm water doesn't hold oxygen as efficiently as cold water does. Try running your livewell on recirc and fill the whole time you have fish in it. Alot of guys don't for fear...

    Post a Photo of Your (4) Leg Companion

    This is my boy Bob, a Sumatran water monitor, mildly venomous, super curious, and loves people food more than an indoor lab. First pic is shortly after I got him, slightly larger than a hatchling. Next pic is after a year to a year and a half. He loves the pool (water monitor) and roaming...

    Sandy flesh walleyes

    I cleaned my first walleye with sand flesh (myofibrogranuloma) last week. I caught it in the tailrace, and seen another one my uncle caught on sakakawea this spring. How common is it? Any one know what causes it, or how it's transferred?

    Catfish

    It's moving, you'll need weights designed for current. - - - Updated - - - Wingwalls are best for cats, but you'll need to make or buy a pier net/basket.

    Catfish

    Similar to walleye, but stay above the rib cage and gut cavity. No bones, just fillet off the skin and trim off all the dark meat. The best bait is a half smelt on a circle hook with a flat or pyramid weight a foot or two above it. Fish off the blocks at the boat ramp, around the wingwalls...
