April 7, 2017 • Sad news in the South Dakota most of non-meandered waters are closed to fishing now.
What this means now is you will need to contact someone before fishing or get permission from all land owners. With that being said we still have some amazing fishing. Right now the guides are getting alot of walleyes, crappies, bass and pike. Best is a jig and a minnow.

February 27, 2017 • the perch are starting to finally go again with late ice. The ice is fine on alot of the smaller deeper lakes but use common sense if it doesn't look good stay off. We are seeing limits of nice jumbo perch 10-15 inches and nice eater walleyes 14-19 inches. The best ice is north of 212 highway.

October 24, 2016 • finally the perch bite has taken off with the colder temps we are seeing lots of perch, walleyes and crappies being taken.

Ice fishing is just around the corner make sure to book your sleeper and guided trips soon!!

August 4, 2016 • Fishing report: Very few lakes are going now for walleyes. We are getting some limits of walleyes but the fish seem to be deep or deep in the weeds. Pulling cranks or casting weedless lures seem to work the best. Perch now are starting to bite, we have 3 lakes we are guiding on now that are putting out 10-25 keepers a day. Still not many limits but fun and good sizie perch. Pike are still strong on a few lakes most are 22-30 inches with a few over 36inches. The bite should pick up in a few weeks as the temps come down.

June 2, 2016 • Walleye fishing is starting to take off now. As the water temps are pushing 70 degrees we are finding more weeds and more active walleyes near them. Poinsett, dry number 2 and thompson have all be hot lakes as of the last few weeks.

March 23, 2016 • The ice is off the lakes and we are in boats!! Some lakes do have the docks in and the bite is doing well as it is pre spawn for walleyes now!

September 7, 2015 • The walleye bite has been up and down. Most of our walleyes are still shallow but many have moved out to 10-15 ft of water due to the cold front we had. Bitter and lake Poinsett have been two of the best bites this last week. Bitter lake is alot of sorting walleyes and lake Poinsett has been a great perch bite. Dry lake number 2 by willow lake has been very slow many walleyes are under 14 inches we hope the fall here will pick up the bite.

May 10, 2015 • The walleye bite has been great! The walleyes seem to be in the 3-7 ft of water on most of the lakes. Most fisherman are finding bottom bouncers and crawlers or leeches to be affective for walleyes now. With many cold fronts coming thru make sure to keep your boat moving slow as the walleyes are not as aggressive as we would like them. Most boddies of water the temps are 55-60 degrees. Pulling cranks seems to be still to early for that.
