About this water
The Missouri River through Bismarck offers accessible urban fishing for walleye, sauger, and channel catfish along the city's riverfront parks and boat ramps. The river below the Garrison Dam tailwater influence supports strong populations of sauger and walleye, especially during fall runs. Bank fishing and boat fishing are both productive from the numerous public access points.
