Regulations
North Dakota Game and Fish Department
North Dakota sets statewide daily/possession limits (e.g. walleye/sauger combined, northern pike, yellow perch) that apply to Lake Darling under the standard framework, with no documented water-specific exception. Fishing is permitted on the Upper Souris NWR under refuge rules (see parkRules) even though sailing/general boating is not. Verify the current-year ND Fishing Guide before fishing.
Per-species limits aren't listed here yet — see the full North Dakota Game and Fish Department regulations for Lake Darling at the link below.
