Question 1

What do you need to know about Lake Oahe?

Accepted Answer

As the northernmost part of the Missouri River, Lake Oahe is a deep, and clear body of water. This makes this lake a great fishing and boating lake. Species present include Walleye, Smallmouth Bass, Northern Pike, Crappie, and White Bass. Walleye is the most common of all the fish targeted with many tournaments being held each year on Lake Oahe. Successful tactics tend to be dragging a live minnow or trolling crankbaits along windblown shorelines. Once a school of fish is located, slowing down and vertically jigging and casting jigs can be used to pick apart the school and maximize the number of fish caught. Recently, Smallmouth Bass have been gaining popularity and Lake Oahe was home to the Bassmaster Elite Series in the summer of 2018. Many of these smallmouth bass were caught using a dropshot or small swimbait fished around isolated boulders where schools of fish congregate.
