I just got back from our Montana Missouri River fly fishing trip and it was great.  The locals say the snowpack is around 130% of normal. That should provide an excellent rise for spawning and reproduction for Lakes Oahe and Sharpe.  It is about 3-4 ft higher already.  Stay tuned for more fishing information here in a week or so.

Excellent weather and good numbers of pheasants this season.

Another nice catch of 20 walleye in Lake Sharpe. We picked these up in 6-8 feet of water. We all caught fish but the women out fished the men of course.

Father from Spearfish and son from Dubuque get together in Pierre for some fishing.

The fall run of walleye is heating up in Lake Sharpe. All of these fish were over the minimum 15 inch size limit.

Mike and Kathy with their limits of nice walleye on Oahe.

Renee’s second day fishing landed this nice walleye on Lake Oahe.

Larger Walleye are starting to turn on down on the lower third of Oahe. Each member of this group from Kansas caught at least one nice walleye and other fish on Saturday. I had the women and they won over a slight edge over the men. The men had to set the table and wash dishes tonight.

Despite extreme heat and wind a group from Saint Cloud Minnesota caught limits of walleye on Oahe with a few nice ones here and there.
