What species are stocked in lake Sakakawea?
Walleye, northern pike, and paddlefish are three of the native species that are stocked in the lake. Brown, rainbow trout, and Chinook salmon are not native to the Missouri River, but are stocked in the reservoir or below the dam. In fact, all of the trout and salmon in the reservoir have spent the early part of their life at the Hatchery. Smallmouth bass have also been introduced and established into the lake.
