Update: Lakes Oahe & Sharpe

Hope you had a great Easter. It looks like another week of cool weather coming up. Lake Oahe is still frozen except for a ribbon of open water along the shoreline. The ribbon is no more than 20 feet wide. The ice is looking pretty dark. There has been a slightly larger open area in Engineer's Bay down by the dam. I saw a vehicle by the water there, but am not sure if they were fishing.

I did get out on Lake Sharpe this weekend with a friend. We put in down stream from Pierre and fished around trees between Antelope Creek and Stoney Point. We caught about 40 walleyes over about 3 hours of fishing. A few smaller ones, but most were in the upper teens. We caught them on jigs tipped with a minnow in about 8 feet of water.

Check back, I'll keep you posted. - Dusty

That seems like a good sign for fishing this spring.
