"South Dakota's Lake Oahe is at or about at full pool. The fishing last year was excellent for walleye, and smallmouth, with a lot more northern pike due to the high water.

Salmon fishing was still spotty but some good catches turned up. We have had great spawning runs for the last 4 years and I would expect fishing for all species to be even better than previous years.

Look for July and August to be among the best months, as cold spring snow run off could keep lake temperatures low early. The average size of all species has improved. Oahe is the closest destination to Nebraska, Iowa, Minnesota, and the rest of the Midwest for this kind of quality fishing."

Hope to see you soon.
