June 26 Report

Rain, wind, more rain and wind. Difficult fishing conditions recently. The good spots here are the mouth of the Cheyenne and near Bush's Landing. More but smaller fish can be caught further north. Depth varies from 15 to 25 feet depending on the location and wind. Crawlers and leeches seem to be the most popular, however some are catching on minnows yet. This is a photo of the Finch family catch, fishing around Bush's in 20 to 25 feet on crawlers.

This picture shows Bob and Neil of Lincoln with their first walleyes.

June 17 & 18 - The Polzaks

Tom and Bryan of Ogallala, NE were my guests this time out and were great fishermen. We continued to catch walleyes up and down the Cheyenne. Lots of northerns were caught also.

June 14 and 15 - Good Fishing Continues

The fish continue to bite in the Cheyenne River arm. Sansarc had lots of fish but many are smaller. Joe's Creek was good for better size. Biting on crawlers, leeches and minnows. This is Jason Grof and his friend.

The Cheyenne River arm is hot. Nearly all fishing there were doing well over the weekend. All sizes of walleyes were in the creels. The Sansarc area was probably the easiest bite, but reports were good from about every bay in the arm. Shallow water was the key, from 10 feet to the shoreline.

I fished with the Larry Marchant family from Rapid City, shown in the first photo. Drew, the youngest of the group caught the most fish. Besides catching our limit of walleye, we caught many pike, catfish, white bass and a few smallies.

I am posting some other photos from the weekend also.

By the way, lake access is normal as is boating on Lake Oahe.

Quick note on improved fishing around Cheyenne River. Took the Larry Merchant family of Rapid and Huron out and caught our limit ranging from 15 to 22 inches, plus good numbers of small pike and few of everything else. Shallow water on minnows or leeches or crawlers or pitched crankbaits. More later. Getting on the lake is easy at Little Bend.
