Lakes Oahe/Sharpe fishing report Pierre area for 1st 2nd and 3rd Oct 2014

[Hutch]

Lots of wind. That is really the whole report. When you can access the areas that are holding the fish both on Oahe and Sharpe the bite is decent however fall winds in the 20 to 50 mph range have made for real limited success for most anglers. On Oahe fishing with minnow rigs is starting to be a little more productive than crawlers and that holds true on Sharpe as well. Fishing in depths of 10 fow to 30 feet in areas from the Cheyenne north is the best for walleye and on Sharpe the West Bend area has the edge. A note on the upcoming season pheasant opener. This year looks to be much better over the whole state with GF&P's reporting numbers way up and around the Pierre area I know that is true. It looks like breaking out the shotguns is a real good idea for those wanting to hunt birds. I will be posting these reports less frequently now as the fishing season winds down (weekly) however if there are any major changes I will report them.
