2017 Outlook for Walleye Fishing on the Missouri River in Chamberlain and Pierre SD

Hope everybody had a great holiday season. Spring is going to be here before we know it and the walleyes are waiting for us. We had great fall fishing on Francis Case all the way to freeze up which finished up our best year ever. 2017 will start out with great fishing on Lake Francis Case near Chamberlain as soon as the ice comes off usually around the 1st of march. The weather is the biggest factor this time of the year so plan your trips accordingly. Starting the First of May the best bite will move up river to Lake Sharpe. Just a 25 mile drive from Chamberlain SD will put you on the most consistent walleye factory in the midwest. Sharpe has a great bite somewhere on it all summer long. Catch rates daily run between 50 and 75 fish per day. Not only is the walleye fishing great but a large population of smallmouth bass are a great bonus fish. Not to be left out is Lake Oahe. Lake Oahe is the largest reservoir we have on the Missouri river. Just north of Pierre SD it offers a midsummer bite of consistently larger walleye and bonus smallmouth. Its time to think about you fishing trip this summer.We hope you will let us show you a fishing trip of a lifetime. You can make your reservation by calling us at 6053661875 or stopping by a sport show we will be attending. We will be at the Kansas city sport show January 19th thru 22nd in Lacrosse Wisc. on Feb 9th thru 12. also the Duluth show on feb 15th -19th The last two shows will be in Omaha on Feb 23-26th and the Northwest sport show in Minneapolis March 23 - 26th. We hope to hear from you.

See you on the River
