Pheasants Survive Winter Around Pike Haven

Our winter was worst than recent years, but due to excellent cover and a lot of grain left in the fields, pheasants have wintered well. We see lots of roosters and hens scurrying about, and hear cackling frequently. Hopefully the weather is favorable to a good hatch.

Lake Oahe Update

In the Little Bend area the ice is mostly gone on the south side, but mostly there on the north side. The dam area is mostly free of ice. We can't see into the Cheyenne River well enough to tell what is happening there. As far as fishing goes, we haven't been out yet, nor do I have any additional information over my last report. I was hoping to fish this weekend, but the weather is not cooperating.
