July 25 Report

Walleyes seem to be all over this part of Lake Oahe. Fish in 10 to 25 feet, drag a crawler on about anything. Move along 1/2 to 1 mile per hour and catch lots of fish. The tricky part is to hook up with larger fish. Just keep working the good spots and you will get them too. Here's a picture of today's catch with George and Bill. We got most of them near the Little Bend camp ground area.

July 9 Report

Walleyes are biting throughout this part of the Lake in both shallow and water upto 30 feet. Crawlers are the bait of choice and crankbait pulling is effective also. In addition to walleye, fishermen are catching a lot of northern pike.

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.

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.

June 12, 2011 Report

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.
