Hobby Hub Outdoors By Mike Peluso Post Flood Fishing on the Mighty Mo It’s a year for the books. Spring started with some of the best fishing ever on the Missouri River. When the ice melted, we saw worldclass walleye fishing. Just a few months later, however, the flood put the kibosh on boat fishing on the Photo by Glasser Images “Mighty Mo.” Now don’t get me wrong, people are still fishing the river, just in a different capacity. If you have access to one of Bismarck- Mandan’s bays or marinas, it’s like shooting fish in a barrel (no pun intended). The reason: fish in the system seeking slack water areas are trapped behind the various plugs and barriers put in place to hold back the water in these bays. Residents are making the best of it, however, and are cashing in on the action by using jigs and live bait, or simply casting lures. The high waters also created some interesting shore fishing. Folks are now catching fish in areas behind objects that were never thought of as fish holding structures. In fact, I spotted a few anglers casting shallow running crank baits behind the many unusual objects scattered along River Road that are surrounded by water. These anglers are catching some nice walleyes! As the water starts to recede, we will undoubtedly witness a changed river. We will see a lot of sand, creating some of the finest fishing and recreational areas we’ve ever had. Access to the river will be an issue. Rest assured, if you can get a boat in the water this fall, you are going to catch fish! With the new sandbars, it will be a crank bait and jig pitching paradise. I anticipate some nice long trolls alongside these sandbars with fish on the edges in search of food. Also with this added water, we are going to experience an explosion of different species of fish for the catching. I have already observed an abundance of small northern, bass and shad from my new riverfront property. This adds to the already rich Missouri River system. Should be an exciting fall for sure!
