PIERRE, (KCCR) — Lake Oahe made some big news this fall with some big fish caught in the massive Missouri River reservoir. South Dakota Game, Fish and Parks Fisheries Program Administrator Jake Davis says record fish can be caught many ways, but walleyes move the needle…
Davis says the fishing frenzy started at the end of October…
A 17-pound, 13-ounce walleye was caught in the same area just a few weeks later and Davis says the idea of landing a monster brought anglers to Oahe who set aside other outdoor opportunities…
Davis says in addition to confirmations of large record-breaking fish being caught, mild late fall weather helped to drive more people to fishing Oahe late in the season.
