FISHING REPORT LAKES OAHE/SHARPE PIERRE AREA JUNE 22ND TO JUNE 29 2016

[Hutch]

The fishing on Sharpe from Pierre down to West Bend is very good for eater size walleye and if you want to catch numbers of walleye (possession limits) it is still the best bet. Catching them on Sharpe in depths of 5 fow out to 30 fow depending on the area you are in on spinner/nightcrawler rigs is the favorite presentation. Other Methods like minnow/bouncer leech/bouncer and pulling plugs all work on both lakes. The bite on Oahe continues to be harder for walleye because the fish are down to depths of 50 fow or more sometimes however it is still the best bet for bigger fish. The smallmouth bass bite has come on with really big smallmouth bass limits (20 inchers not uncommon) coming in. I guided Lee Ruff and his grandson from Nebraska for two fun days then the Casy family and then Buckleys Allen and Ellen 15 year repeat customers from Omaha Ne. Then took out the Terry Held group of guys with Scott Vanlierre helping me and finished this time period with the Bill Heger, Rick Leth, Ron Hargins repeat customers from Cario NE. All great groups and if you notice the mainstay of my business is repeat customers speaking to the great experience's the Pierre area offers as the pictures show. The Hergar group and the Held group had 10 or more smallmouth over 20 inches. Weather is hot, flys are around so lots of liquids and bug spray are necessary but fishing is generally good.
