Fish species in Lake Tewaukon

Lake Tewaukon is a reservoir in Sargent County, North Dakota, and covers about 1,071.3 acres, reaches about 9.5 feet at its deepest point and holds roughly 8,207.5 acre-feet.

Several patterns can work at once on Lake Tewaukon, especially when wind separates clear water from dirty water. With little deep water in Lake Tewaukon, weeds, wind, and water color can matter more than depth alone.

What Makes Lake Tewaukon Different

Lake Tewaukon is a shallow reservoir in southeast North Dakota. With little deep water, weeds, wind, and the old channel matter more than chasing a deep summer hole.

Walleye and pike can move across shallow flats when wind adds color. Crappie use the best wood, weeds, or small drops available. Muskellunge need a larger search bait along the strongest remaining edge rather than random casts across open water.
