Good fishing window despite cloud cover
Checked 8/14/2026 · openweather, scoring_engine
Weather score of 80/100 supports fishing today. A 100% chance of light precipitation (4.4mm) is manageable for river fishing, and current conditions with 66°F water-friendly temperatures and moderate 14 mph winds are acceptable. Water levels and flow should be stable at the tailrace.

Garrison Dam Tailrace
AI-suggested draft · review before you go
The Missouri River tailrace below Garrison Dam is one of North Dakota's most productive and unique fisheries, with cold, clear water supporting rainbow trout, brown trout, and large populations of sauger and walleye. The tailwater section below the dam is accessible from the Downstream Campground and offers excellent wade and bank fishing for trout — rare in North Dakota. This is a must-visit destination for anglers seeking trout in the Great Plains.
