I second that greatplains. I am from up in that area originally and am actually going to Van Hook Arm next week. My brother owns a cabin up there and fishes every other day of the week so we have our own pesonal guide. We fished up there last year and caught around 400 walleyes in 6 days between 3 of us. The best method this time of year is 8′ -10′ Lindy’s and crawlers or leeches. We also do some open water deep crank baits and catch quite a few big fish in the 6 to 9 lb range. This fishery is definitive proof that stocking in large numbers is successful. If you have heard that Oahe is good I would definitely reccommend Sakakawea in late June to early August. You won’t be disappointed.
