Fish Challenge Now Open

Anglers are invited to participate in the fifth annual North Dakota Fish Challenge. The challenges encourage exploration of North Dakota's many fisheries, and this year promote the joy of just catching a fish, no matter the size or species, with the newly added 100 Fish Challenge. To complete the challenge, just catch 100 fish of any kind.

In addition, anglers can complete the Total Catch Challenge by coaching a new angler, cleaning up a local waterbody, cooking a catch, and casting a story; the Rough Fish Challenge by catching a bullhead, carp and sucker; the Sportfish Challenge, by catching a bluegill, walleye, bass and trout; or the inaugural Classic Challenge, requiring a northern pike, yellow perch, smallmouth bass and channel catfish.

Either way, the process is simple – snap a photo of each and submit your entry on the North Dakota Game and Fish website now through Aug. 15.

Anglers who complete a challenge will receive a decal and certificate.
