Best Bass Waters - Bassmaster-ND - 03-30-2004
North Dakota
State record: 8 pounds 7.5 ounces, Leon Rixen, 1983, Nelson Lake
Best water: Nelson Lake. “We’re marginal bass habitat, but Nelson lake water is effluent from a power plant, so it hardly ices over.”—Greg Power, fisheries section leader, North Dakota Game and Fish Department

Sleeper: Sweetbriar Reservoir. “It’s a high-use lake just west of Mandan, but North Dakota is not a big bass state, and the bass don’t get attention. There are a lot of bass in the 3- to 5-pound range.”
