June 9th - 13th Lakes Oahe/Sharpe, Pierre SD Fishing Report

[Hutch]

I finished guiding the Dana and Lori VanDyke group from Kearney NE To possession limits of walleye some northern and smallmouth bass to take home. Just a great bunch and we had a great time. I then went on to fish KC customers of Spring Creek Marina Lon and Guy to three days of limits of walleye, smallmouth bass and around 10 northern pike. Lon caught and released a nice 28 inch walleye and the rest of there limit was around 17 to 18 inch fish with some more over 20 inch fish. Then guided Kevin and Sandy Orberg to nice limits of walleye keeping 17 inch fish or better with them catching both of there over fish and releasing a nice 28 incher I encourage taking cameras along and picturing these bigger fish as they take probably 10 years to get to get to this size and you are giving another angler a chance to get lucky. Both Lon and Kevin got nice pictures and both of them felt just great watching those big fish swim back into the deep. All of the above fish were caught fishing out of the spring/cow creek area using bttmbouncer/crawlers or Berkeley gulp worms with one 28 inch fish coming on leeches. We fished in around 10 fow most of the time but spent time in some areas going deeper.(20 to 30) when necessary .Every year around this time the fly's start showing up and over the years I have tried different remedies but the best one and the one I use is Horse Stable Spray. I buy Bronco equine Spray made by the Farnum company and spray it around in the boat periodically. Do not spray it on yourself but all around the boat. It works and you can fish without the company of these little pests. Fishing is maybe a little slower on Sharpe with a lot of smaller fish being caught but Oahe continues to put out numbers of walleye, smallmouth and northern pike with all presentations working. Salmon fishing is slow. Boat traffic is June busy with anglers everywhere and most catching limits.
