Fishing for Walleye
Have Some Reel Fun More than 175 fishing lakes, ranging in size up to 29,000 acres, make southeast
South Dakota a fisherman's paradise. With three major rivers, the Big Sioux, the James and the Missouri River, coursing through this region, the youngest to the oldest can go home with a whopper of a fish story. Walleye and bass compete for top honors. Lewis and Clark Lake, above the Gavins Point Dam, draws anglers from across the nation with its alluring combination of largemouth and smallmouth bass. Fishing piers for those with accessibility needs have been installed at Lake Herman,
Walker's Point, Lake Vermillion, Lake Alvin, Lewis & Clark and Springfield Recreation Area. These piers offer low railings, accessible ramps, sidewalks and nearby parking areas. South Dakota fishing waters, excluding tribal trust land, hold a free weekend of fishing
each year. Join in the fun on May 18-20, 2012 and enjoy a weekend of fishing on us. The entrance fees in all South Dakota Parks are waved this weekend as well. Our fishing season never closes, so your annual fishing license is good year around.
For the true spor tsman with a warm disposition and a good down parka, ice fishing can be a great relief to cabin fever. The fishing in southeast South Dakota is always a good time. What are you waiting for?
