Fishing Report for Lakes Oahe/Sharpe Pierre Area July 25th thru the 28th 2014

[Hutch]

I guided the Jon Foxman family for a tougher day on Sharpe but came back and guided the Doug Hays, Doug Kelling and Rex Lovell group of repeat customers for two days on Sharpe spending one day around Pierre and one day at West Bend catching these three of guys full possession limits of walleye, a big catfish and a few bass. We fished around Pierre with spinner/crawler rigs or gulp in around 10 fow and down at the Bend we fished deeper in and around tree beds in 25 fow to 30 fow with bouncer /crawler rigs. Had a great time with these guys as well as Jon Foxman and the next father son team from Le mars, Iowa Rich Ellefson and son Matt. I fished down on Sharpe with them the first day catching a nice limit of walleye and then fished Oahe the 2nd day coming in with on nice 23 inch walleye a few smaller ones along with a couple of bass and a bunch of catfish .We caught these fish in around 35 fow but the bite on Oahe is not good now with smaller walleye the norm. Sharpe for the most part is very good but around Pierre if the Corps runs the wrong amount of current (either very little or to much) even around Pierre can be tougher .Plenty of fly's/bugs around so if you are coming over good repellent well make for a better trip along with plenty of water and sun screen.
