South Dakota
South Dakota offers two world class walleye fishing destinations, the Missouri River and the Glacial Lakes Region. Although only a few hundred miles away, these two areas could not fish more differently.
The Missouri River corridor offers rolling hills, lake reservoirs and deep water. By contrast, the Glacial Lakes region offers thousands of shallow sloughs and connecting waters that very rarely exceed 25-30 feet deep.
Whether you are looking to take on the Mighty Missouri River or bounce from slough to slough, South Dakota offers something for you!
Missouri River
The Missouri River in South Dakota features four reservoirs: Lake Oahe, Lake Sharpe, Lake Francis Case and Lewis and Clark Lake. While all of these reservoirs fish slightly different one thing remains constant: they all can produce an excellent numbers bite and an excellent trophy bite for walleye!

Glacial Lakes Region
The Glacial Lakes Region in northeast South Dakota features thousands of small bodies of water, some as small as a few acres while others are expansive such as Bitter Lake and Waubay Lake. These waterbodies may produce an excellent numbers bite, trophy bite or both when it comes to walleye! Yellow perch are also a popular target in this area particularly through the ice.
