Lake Oahe Fishing Guide Reporting Tool

The Lake Oahe Fishing Guide Reporting Tool is a voluntary program to allow fishing guides to report their walleye catch to South Dakota Game, Fish and Parks.

All entries are strictly confidential, and information collected will be used to assist long-term walleye management on the Missouri River reservoirs.

Summaries of the information reported will be provided to the public in the fall following the open water walleye season.

Thank you for your help in the management of South Dakota’s walleye fisheries.
