Crappie & Gills

Beautiful & secluded Lake

Join me on a beautiful and secluded lake south of Sioux Falls - cliffs and trees surround this majestic lake. It's a quiet place to relax and enjoy the fishing and the scenery. The lake is an old quarry that turned into a lake. Though only 800 acres, it winds like a snake and is tucked in a valley. Cliffs and trees surround this majestic lake. A scene out of a Minnesota or a Wisconsin lake. 30+ feet in the center channel and the lake is spring-fed. The fillets of fish in the lake are casper white and melt in your mouth bread buttered. June, July and August are great months for this secluded, quiet lake.

Special thanks to Ryan Kenjalo of Aerial 605 Photography for aerial footage while fishing for crappie.
