Underwater spearfishing is legal only from May 1 through November 30 of each fishing year (See ND Regulations).
Legal underwater spear equipment is a rubber band powered or pneumatic powered speargun with the spear attached to the gun with a lanyard not to exceed 20 feet. Underwater spears may be discharged only when the operator and equipment are entirely under the surface of the water.
Underwater spearfishing is illegal within 150 feet of any individuals engaged in fishing, designated swimming or water ski areas, boat docks or spillways.
The Diver’s Down Flag must be displayed on a float or buoy during any underwater spearfishing. Underwater “spearers” must stay within 100 feet of the vertical position of their Diver’s Down Flag.
