Northgate Dam is a reservoir in Burke County, North Dakota.
Northgate Dam is a reservoir in Burke County, North Dakota, and covers about 157.9 acres, reaches about 23.6 feet at its deepest point and holds roughly 1,270.9 acre-feet.
Northgate Dam can be broken down in a few passes: shallow cover, the first break, and the deepest useful water.
Northgate Dam stands out for its 157.9 acres of water and a recorded deep point near 23.6 feet; that mix gives Black Crappie, Bluegill, Largemouth Bass room to move between shallow cover and open water.
For a useful first pass on Northgate Dam, choose a point or firm shoreline close to deeper water; fish the shallow top, the edge, and the bottom of the drop before making a long move, using that three-step check to turn the exact size and depth into a practical plan.
To narrow the search, fish a light jig or minnow around wood, weeds, and sharp little drops.
Treat 23.6 feet as the deepest point, not the automatic fishing depth; start near cover and move deeper only when bites or bait give a reason.
In practice, move after checking the same useful feature at several depths without finding bait, a clean edge, or a bite.
