Northeast South Dakota fishing

Has anybody been up to NE South Dakota recently for fishing in the Waubay/Webster area? My wife and I and another couple were up there mid-February and did real well for nice Bluegills on Enemy Swim…Continue

Comment by Powder River on August 4, 2014 at 11:42pm: Anyone have advice on where to catch Orangespotted Sunfish or Pumpkinseeds in Eastern NE or Western IA? I'm willing to drive, but would love to find a good spot within a couple of hours of Omaha. Thanks!

Comment by Dusty Schelbitzki on March 19, 2014 at 10:41am: Well have anyone been out having some fun yet?

Comment by Dusty Schelbitzki on August 2, 2013 at 12:45pm: The wife and I did really good on gills out at Wanahoo last weekend. 5in -9.5in in size.

Comment by Powder River on June 14, 2013 at 7:51pm: I live in Gretna, and tend to go away from Omaha when I fish, just because there is less pressure. However, I have been to Walnut Creek twice in the last couple of weeks and had great success on bluegill both times. Once on the NE side of the side and once on the SW side. Nightcrawlers on jigs, about a 1-2' below the bobber.

Comment by Powder River on June 13, 2013 at 6:10am: Found this site last night & am excited to be a member. Bluegill bite is on in Eastern Nebraska. Had a lot of success the last 2 weeks in shallow water near shore with bobber/jig/worm. South side of Walnut Creek very productive.
