Fishing

Catfish, little suckers, northern pikes, and goldeyes are among the underwater inhabitants of the Little Missouri River. If you wish to fish in the park or elsewhere in the state and are over age 16, you must obtain a North Dakota fishing license. For out-of-state residents, a three-day permit is $15, a 10-day permit is $25, and a one-year permit is $45. For in-state residents, a one-year permit is $10.
