Waters just keep rising in North Dakota. “It’s an ever-expanding fishery,” says guide Jason Feldner . “The lakes are very fertile here, for a northern state. As a result, biologists tell me walleyes grow 1.5 times faster here than anywhere else in the Midwest. And we’re far enough away from any big population centers to keep the pressure down. Walleyes bite aggressively here year ‘round.”
Like it’s neighbor to the south, North Dakota is dotted with ponds and small glacial lakes. “The Missouri River is a walleye factory,” Feldner said.
The rest of the top 10 include New York, Pennsylvania, Tennessee and Arkansas.
