Largemouth Bass
Pierre, South Dakota, provides diverse largemouth bass fishing within the Missouri River system, particularly in Lake Oahe. This expansive reservoir offers varied habitat, from rocky shorelines to submerged timber, catering to different bass fishing styles. Spring and early summer are generally the most productive times, as bass move shallow to spawn. Spinnerbaits, crankbaits, and soft plastics are all effective during this period. As summer progresses, focus on deeper structure and weedlines. During the fall, bass will often stage near creek channels and main lake points before moving deeper for the winter. Anglers should be aware that Lake Oahe can be subject to strong winds, so check the forecast before heading out. Access is readily available via numerous boat ramps around Pierre. Don't be afraid to experiment with different lure presentations and depths to find what the bass are keying on.
