about

WALLEYE -- Brad Beeler Fishing Guide Service offers hassle-free fishing in the best kept secret in the Upper Midwest Walleye and Fresh-water Salmon fishing. Just outside my front door is Lake Oahe; the 4th largest man-made lake in the USA with 231 miles of rocky outcrops, sandy bottoms, and sharp drop-offs that Walleye love. SALMON -- Lake Oahe reaches up to 200 feet deep with thousands of points, large bays and sunken islands to fish. It is stocked with approximately 250,000 salmon every year at Whitlock Bay--just 45 minutes north of Pierre. The salmon swim deep and require down-riggers to reach 80 to 100 feet underwater. NORTHERN PIKE-- Early April, end of March is ice out and trophy Northern can be found along the shores of Lake Oahe. Northern pike can definitely give you an adrenalin rush that you won’t get from any other fish. SMALLMOUTH BASS -- Lake Oahe also boasts a very healthy population of smallmouth bass. The water level has been raising for the last few years and the newly submerged brush, trees, and rocks creates the perfect environment for smallmouth to thrive.
