Trophy Fish Caught

Recent outings have yielded impressive results, with a significant increase in the size and quality of trophy walleye being landed. Thanks to the abundant forage in the system, we are seeing fish with excellent weight-to-length ratios, particularly in the lower reaches of Lake Oahe. In addition to our primary targets, anglers have successfully boated aggressive Northern Pike and hefty Smallmouth Bass. While we are a freshwater operation, the diversity of the Missouri River means you never know when a hard-fighting Chinook Salmon or a prehistoric-looking Paddlefish might cross your line, making every hookset an exciting mystery.
