South Dakota Walleye Fishing
Fishing Lake Oahe
Mid-May through the end of July is premier walleye fishing with many days filling out before noon. There's a strong class of 16-20 inch walleye to be had, with many overs averaging 24" to 27". Oahe catfish and smallmouth bass can be had back in the bays should we limit out early. There's also a good fall bite in September and October in the Whitlocks area.
Fishing Lake Sharpe
Lake Sharpe is in a class of its own, having many 50-100 catch and release days. The state landings on Lake Sharpe are top notch, well protected with coves, shade and majestic scenery. July and August: During these two months, the 15" minimum restriction on walleye is lifted on Lake Sharpe. Fun, quick days filling out by noon beating the heat.

ABOUT
Andre Adams
Fishing Guide & Owner of Adams Guide Service
I have been fishing Lakes Oahe and Sharpe since 1994, to include a few years of guiding with my dad, prior to taking over the business as a South Dakota walleye fishing guide. I love it! I love meeting new people. I enjoy the camaraderie that develops throughout the day and I enjoy sharing ideas and knowledge concerning the great sport of fishing. I've also been fishing glacier lakes: Thompson, Poinsett, and Sinai since the early '90s.
I believe Lake Oahe and Lake Sharpe are the Capitol of walleye fishing in central South Dakota. The great thing about fishing for these walleye is that you run into other species such as trophy small-mouth bass, pike, perch, white bass, channel and blue cats, and the list goes on with occasional trout and salmon.
I've been fishing South Dakota eastern glacier lakes since the mid-90s, and in 2007, I expanded my guiding services to those lakes. This includes Lake Thompson among several other lakes stretching from Madison SD south as far as Vermillion and Yankton. These lakes provide opportunities in angling for multiple freshwater species.
I also guide for perch and bluegill north of Milbank, SD on Big Stone Lake. These glacial and prairie lakes offer a variety of species: walleye, pike, perch, crappie, sm bass, and white bass.
