Lakes Oahe/Sharpe Pierre area fishing report April 15th to 24th 2014

[Hutch]

I have not been on the water personally but talking to some of the other guides that I work with I will do a quick report. The bite on Sharpe in the Pierre can be hard some days if current is strong so it is not real consistent. I think the spawn is going both at West Bend and around Pierre so it is mostly male walleye that are being caught. West Bend can be a little spotty too but most experienced fishermen are coming in with limits but working for them some days. Lake Oahe is about the same with northern fishing good from the bank and walleye fishing also spotty. I heard about some limits up on the Cheyenne river but they also involved all day fishing. Jigs and gulp/minnows or bouncer minnow rigs are the bait of choice but pulling plugs works. Thirty fow on the big lake seemed to be the starting point. I am not sure about any Salmon report and small mouth are still spotty also. I will start to publish reports after May 1st on a every two or three day basis.
