Fishing Report Lakes Oahe/Sharpe Pierre area for Oct 1st thru 3rd 2015

[Hutch]

I indicated in my last report that fishing was picking up and it was but I should have put more emphasis on weather as the last trip I just finished with Nick Flaten and his son from Iowa was hurt big time by weather. We were out two days in 25 to 40 mph winds for a limit day one but actually having to call the trip because of both weather and a poor bite. I think the fish really turn off on Sharpe when the corps is running a huge amount of water thru the dam in Pierre and not releasing any down river. The water actually rose two feet over night on Sharpe and the bite just shut down. I think this is temporary and will be okay when the weather gets better and the corps run normal flow however it is hard to predict a bite. Oahe continues to get better but to fish you need weather also so check extended weather reports and cross your fingers when coming over. The fishing season is starting to wind down with hunting now starting to be in the forefront but I will still keep up with fishing reports as the fall bite progresses. Pheasant hunting looks like it is going to be as good as it gets around Pierre so if you are coming over you should do real well.
