Apr. 14—BISMARCK — North Dakota's paddlefish season opens May 1 and is scheduled to continue through May 21, the Game and Fish Department said in a news release. However, depending on the overall harvest, an early in-season closure may occur with a 24-hour notice issued by Game and Fish, the department said.
Paddlefish tags are available for purchase on
the Game and Fish website at
gf.nd.gov
and during business hours at Game and Fish Department offices in Bismarck, Dickinson, Jamestown, Devils Lake, Lonetree (Harvey) and Williston. Snaggers buying tags online have the option to have the tag mailed or they can stop at a Game and Fish office and pick it up during business hours. Those having a tag mailed should plan accordingly and allow a few days for delivery.
All paddlefish snaggers must possess a paddlefish tag, in addition to a valid fishing license for anyone 16 and older. Lost or destroyed tags will not be replaced.
The Game and Fish Department will allow camping during the open paddlefish season at Lewis and Clark Wildlife Management Area Pumphouse and at Neu's Point WMA. However, no roads or gates will be open at Neu's Point; therefore, camping is allowed in the small Neu's Point parking lot, and the rest of the WMA for walk-in access. All other
WMA regulations
apply.
Snaggers are urged to be aware of the current fire index. Information, including restrictions, on current fire danger indexes is available at
NDResponse.gov.
For more information on the
paddlefish snagging season
