I have been having some days off and then doing a little hunting fishing hence not really keeping up with the reports like I usually do. Fishing has generally been good for both smallmouth and walleye on Oahe but tougher for the most part on Sharpe especially when...

FISHING REPORT LAKES OAHE/SHARPE PIERRE AREA FOR SEPTEMBER 6TH THRU THE 20TH 2019
I have not been posting reports on a 3 day basis because until recently the fishing report remained about the same with fishing good one day and hard the next. Some of the reason has been lots of rain and wind muddying up Sharpe and wind days making access and fishing...
FISHING REPORT LAKES OAHE/SHARPE PIERRE AREA FOR AUGUST 29TH THRU SEPT 5TH 2019
The bite has improved somewhat on both Sharpe and Oahe but it is still spotty with getting the fish to bite harder some days. I spent the last three days with the SIMMINS/SEDERLIN group of repeat customers fishing both Sharpe and Oahe. Some of my favorite repeats from...
White-lined Sphinx Moth
Deadwood's main street light poles have hanging planters of petunias, if you pay attention, towards evening the "Hummingbird Moths" can be seen darting from planter to planter. It took a few tries, but I finally got a few decent photos. They don't spend too much time...
FISHING REPORT LAKES OAHE/SHARPE PIERRE AREA FOR AUGUST 18TH THRU 28TH 2019
A lot of us guides hit a dead spot recently and so did the bite. Both Oahe and Sharpe got a tougher bite with fish on Oahe going deep (down to 50 fow) making catching them harder. I am usually busy this part of August but this year had some time off so haven't been...
Walleye and Catfish Bite on Lake Oahe
This time of year with all the bait fish available, the walleye fishing has slowed down but the catfish we are catching is off the charts. Some of the larger cats really fight and are hard to bring in. My fingers are raw from removing hooks from fish. There’s a 1...
Korkow Ranch Pheasant Hunting
Mid August—-this past week, we have started to see the young birds—-finally getting big enough that they make “waves” in the grass as well as are flying!!! We had some golf ball to almost baseball size hail a little over a week ago—-made us “wonder” if their were...
FISHING REPORT LAKES OAHE/SHARPE PIERRE AREA FOR AUGUST 7TH TO THE 11TH 2019
I helped guide the second half of the CVA GROUP for the OUTPOST LODGE along with probably around 20 other guides to limits on the first day but running into an early off the water day two due to a summer storm moving thru the area dumping 3 1/2 inches of rain and big...
FISHING REPORT PIERRE AREA FOR AUGUST 1ST TO AUGUST 5TH 2019
The bite has been really day by day good or bad depending on the area that you fish. This summer has been one of the best we had had here on Oahe but just recently even some of the better guides on the lake ( including me) are having days they struggle and then days...
Fishing is some of the best we’ve had in a long time
