Fargo Angler Catches Record Cisco

A cisco that Fargo angler Jack Fletcher caught late last month is a state record.

The Game and Fish Department says the fish Fletcher caught on February 28 in Lake Oahe’s Beaver Bay weighed 2 pounds, 9 ounces.

That broke the previous record by 1 ounce.

The record had been held since 2000 by two family members from Pick City who each reeled in a 2-pound, 8-ounce cisco from the Garrison Dam Tailrace on the same day.
