Fishing Report Lakes Oahe/Sharpe Pierre area for August 13th thru the 17th 2014

[Hutch]

Just finished helping Dave Spaid guide the Capitol Motor's group of repeat customer's spending both days on Lake Sharpe and getting them full possession limits of walleye and a few bass. A great bunch of guys and they had a great time however the bite on Saturday around Pierre was harder work than it has been. Before this group I guided Dennis Brown and his wife Mary from Lena' Illinois on Sharpe also getting possession limits of real nice walleye plus a bonus 22 inch rainbow trout Mary caught. We caught the fish in Pierre in around 10 fow using both Berkley Gulp and spinner/crawler rigs. Once again the first 20 miles of Sharpe can be challenging if the corps is running the wrong current. There is also a lot of dirty/stained water below the bad river presenting adverse conditions in many area's so every day the bite can be harder if the wrong conditions exist. The walleye on Oahe have moved deeper in many area's and catching them down as deep as 50 fow is happing some day's. Smallmouth fishing is still good on the big lake so days that walleyes are harder to find many boats are having fun putting some bass in the bag. Plenty of fly's around so good spray is helpful.
