November 1st to 3rd Lake Oahe and Lake Sharpe, Pierre SD Fishing Report

[Hutch]

We are getting some great late fall day's making for combination fishing/hunting trips a lot more pleasant. Pheasant hunting is excellent around the Pierre area and the fishing is good but spotty for walleye on Sharpe. Walleye, smallmouth bass and northern pike on Oahe are going strong. I guided Mark Fitspatrick and friend from Georgia for a day of walleye fishing on Sharpe catching there limit. The bite was slower in the morning hours but turned on after lunch allowing us to get some real nice walleye in around 10 fow on minnow/ bouncer/ jigs but we did catch 3 or 4 fish pulling plugs (flicker shads). The bite on Oahe remains excellent with most fish coming from 20 fow on bouncer/minnows or real shallow (10 fow or less) pitching jigs/gulp/ minnows. The Cheyenne river and all the way up from Bush's Landing are probably the best choices but many fish are coming from the dam to the spring/cow creek areas also. The weather looks very good for the next week averaging around 50 to 60 degree's all the way up to next weekend so there should be some real happy hunter's and fishermen. I will do another report in around 5 days.
