North Dakota’s paddlefish snagging season will close Sunday, May 21 at 7 p.m. Central time, at the conclusion of the 21-day season.
Since the season will not close early, there will be no additional seven-day snag-and-release season.

The North Dakota Game and Fish Department removed the open fire ban on Oahe Wildlife Management Area. However, this area still falls under county burn restrictions.
More information, including restrictions, on current fire danger indexes is available at NDResponse.gov. Oahe WMA covers more than 16,000 acres along the Missouri River south of Bismarck and Mandan within Burleigh, Emmons and Morton counties.
