Larimore Dam is a reservoir in Grand Forks County, North Dakota.
Stocking records show that the following fish or strains were stocked here. A historical stocking does not by itself prove that a self-sustaining population remains today.
Larimore Dam is a reservoir in Grand Forks County, North Dakota, and covers about 70.1 acres, reaches about 28.2 feet at its deepest point and holds roughly 771.1 acre-feet.
Larimore Dam can be broken down in a few passes: shallow cover, the first break, and the deepest useful water.
Fish listed for Larimore Dam include Black Bullhead, Black Crappie, Bluegill, Common Carp, Largemouth Bass, Northern Pike, Walleye, and Yellow Perch.
On this 70.1-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.
For the first look at this small, open reservoir in Grand Forks County, 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.
On a careful pass over this small, open reservoir in Grand Forks County, try this for northern pike: cover weed edges and shallow points with a spoon, spinnerbait, or minnow-shaped lure.
On this North Dakota reservoir of small size, try this for black crappie: fish a small jig or minnow around wood, weeds, and sharp little drops.
Other targets listed here include Bluegill, Largemouth Bass, Black Bullhead, and Common Carp; give each one its own bait and depth instead of trying to catch everything with the same rig.
Muskellunge have also been stocked here; that proves fish were released, but it does not promise that they are still common or easy to catch.
Around this small reservoir in Grand Forks County, make one shallow pass and one deeper pass on the same shoreline; that shows whether fish are tight to cover or using the first break.
Before leaving this small, open reservoir in Grand Forks 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.
When testing depth on this small, open reservoir in Grand Forks 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.
Across this Grand Forks County reservoir with open water, 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.
Across this open water in Grand Forks County, soak a worm or small piece of cut bait on the bottom in quiet water after sunset.
Treat 28.2 feet as the deepest point, not the automatic fishing depth; start near cover and move deeper only when bites or bait give a reason.
It confirms that muskellunge were released, but it does not prove that fish are now common or easy to catch.
