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...

Lake Oahe bite and walleye health continue into August
The depths vary between 15 to 30 feet deep. Depending on the wind and temperature conditions. Most anglers are using crawlers and bottom bouncers and others are using spinners and propeller rigs. The trolling bite has been fair to good also around the 15 to 25 foot...
Lake Oahe Walleyes Looking Good
Walleyes growing larger and going deeper in Lake Oahe. No sign of weight loss going on with these fish. In fact some of them fight as good to the boat as the smallmouth. Dave Spaid Guiding, Spaid Farms, South Dakota Walleye Fishing & Pheasant Hunting Guide Trips...
On The Move
Walleye are moving down into lower Oahe. The bite excellent from the Cheyenne down to Chantier Creek on both sides. The fish are shallow migrating in 5 to 15 feet due to the bait clouds and high water levels. They range from 14 to 20 inches and are chunky. Get a hold...
Cheyenne keeps coughing up nice walleyes.
I guided for Scott and Hutch a group out of Scotts Bluff, Nebraska. We were done with five limits of walleye by 11:00 MST and went in to beat the heat. Actually my Lowrance front fish finder locked up and decided to go in early without going for bass. The walleye were...
Muddy Water. No Problem.
Today our 50 walleye bite did not happen. We did get our limits though. Something happened last night and it was all muddy where we caught our fish the other day. We had to go to the other side of the lake where we caught fewer but nice fish back in the bays under the...

Agency Creek on Oahe Kicking out Walleye
Lower Oahe is producing some nice fish. Screw the gravel roads. We caught our limit by 11 AM down on the lower end of Lake Oahe in Agency Creek. The fish were caught on bottom bouncers in 8-10 feet of water. Here is a 23 inch female that was released. Dave Spaid...

Walleye Bite on Oahe on Fire
Bob and Ruth Steever from Gillette, Wyoming and Bob and Joann Hofer from Sioux Falls and I caught these 20 walleye today. Winds were gusting 20 to 35 miles an hour and we fished near the mouth of the Cheyenne River along the steep banks and the walleye were on fire....
