2024 Fishing Report Recap

2024 was a great year on Lakes Oahe, Sharpe and the eastern glacial lakes angling for walleye, perch, crappie, bluegill, and smallmouth bass.

April-June, I was guiding on Lake Sharpe on the Missouri river, finding many walleye and smallmouth bass. May-July was great on Lake Oahe catching many 16"-27" walleye. Lake Thompson and the eastern glacial lakes were good, with a phenomenal pre and post spawn bite for walleye using Lindy rigs with mac blades and/or jigs.

June-September was great on both perch and bluegill; fishing the lakes north of Watertown during these months, presenting with ultralights and light tackle.

I anticipate 2025 to be another great year fishing the Missouri river and eastern glacial lakes. Call now to plan your 2025 fishing trip.

Lake Thompson SD Fishing Report

with all the rain and cold fronts I’ve been focusing on Lake Sharpe on the Missouri River.

But I did get out a couple weeks ago and had some action.

Water temp needs to warm up.
