Fish species in Berreth Lake

Berreth Lake is a lake in Emmons County, North Dakota, and covers about 242.8 acres, reaches about 34 feet at its deepest point and holds roughly 1,816 acre-feet.

Several patterns can work at once on Berreth Lake, especially when wind separates clear water from dirty water.

Fish and Baits

Fish listed for Berreth Lake include Northern Pike, Walleye, and Yellow Perch.

On this 242.8-acre water, try this for walleye: work a jig and minnow, a live-bait rig, or a small crankbait along points and the first drop.

Near the 34-foot deep point, try this for yellow perch: keep a small jig tipped with a minnow or worm close to the bottom on a flat beside deeper water.

While checking this midsize, open lake in Emmons County, try this for northern pike: cover weed edges and shallow points with a spoon, spinnerbait, or minnow-shaped lure.

How to Read the Water

To keep things simple on this midsize, open lake in Emmons County, do not let the deepest number control the whole day; nearby cover, firm bottom, and food usually matter more than the deepest hole by itself.

Season by Season

Across this midsize lake in Emmons County, in spring, start with warming banks, creek mouths, and shallow cover; summer usually pushes the better bite toward the outside weed edge or a nearby drop; fall can bring bait back to windblown points, while winter calls for smaller moves and a slower pace.

A Simple Tackle Plan

When fishing this midsize, open lake in Emmons County, a medium spinning rod with 8- to 10-pound line handles most jigs and small casting baits; add a stronger outfit and a proper leader when northern pike are the target.

To narrow down this midsize, open lake in Emmons County, record the wind, water color, productive depth, and cover after a bite; those four notes are more useful on the next trip than a long list of spots that did not produce.
