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 overs averaging 24" to 27". Oahe catfish 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.

 
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.


I highly encourage early bookings as May and June are always the first to fill out. Large groups welcomed, additional guide boats available.


All multiple day bookings on eastern glacial lakes from July - November receive a $25/day discount.


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.

Angling for perch, gills and crappie on Big Stone Lake is always a fun time. Lodging and meals can be found in Milbank, 15 miles south of Big Stone Lake.


I also guide for crappie and bluegill in the southeastern part of South Dakota, near Yankton and Sioux Falls.
