Anglers are once again invited to participate in the North Dakota Fish Challenge. The challenges, which started in 2022, encourage exploration of North Dakota's many fisheries, and this year, promote active stewardship of the resource.

This year anglers can choose to complete the Total Catch Challenge by coaching a new angler, cleaning up a local water body, cooking a catch and casting a story.

In addition, anglers can complete the Rough Fish Challenge by catching a bullhead, carp and sucker; the Sportfish Challenge by catching a bluegill, walleye, bass and trout; or the inaugural Classic Challenge requiring a northern pike, yellow perch, smallmouth bass and channel catfish.

Either way, the process is simple – snap a photo of each and submit your entry on the North Dakota Game and Fish website through Aug. 15.

Anglers that complete a challenge will receive a decal and certificate.
