Lake Oahe has always been well-known in walleye circles for its phenomenal fishing. Recently, due to the unique status of the reservoir including the forage base of smelt, gizzard shad, lake herring, and ciscoes, Lake Oahe is kicking out state record breaking walleyes!

The state record fell twice last fall, and it may fall again this spring.  That's simply an indicator of the type of fishing that's being offered in our area!  BUT don't forget, Lake Oahe has more than just giant walleyes.

Our smallmouth bass population is quietly one of the better caliber fisheries in the upper Midwest.  You can find not only an abundance of numbers, but many pushing 20 inches as well!

The salmon fishing heats up around the fall.  We're known to kick out some big fish on that scale as well.

You can catch healthy northern pike from boats all season long. Spring and fall are the best times for catching northern pike from shore. Northern pike are also abundant while ice fishing and spearing.

Don’t forget our area is also home to world class pheasant hunting! Hunters come from all over to experience some of the best pheasant hunting in the country.

We invite you to come fish, hunt and explore all we have to offer. Spend the day water skiing, tubing, jet skiing, bow fishing, boating or casting from shore on Lake Oahe. Or grab your hunting gear and head to any of the public areas near us. Grab a book from the Little Library, take the kids to the playground or gather with friends at the picnic shelter or supper club to relax. Whatever you choose to do, be sure to catch a stunning Lake Oahe sunset at the end of the day! We have everything you need to make your stay on Lake Oahe in South Dakota an enjoyable one!
