Striped Bass
While South Dakota isn't typically known for Striped Bass, the freshwater impoundments near Astoria offer a unique opportunity to target these hard-fighting fish. The primary location to try is Lake Poinsett, though smaller connected lakes can also hold stripers that have moved through the system. These fish are landlocked, meaning they don't migrate to saltwater. Expect a different fighting style than their coastal cousins, but they are still incredibly strong. The best time to target them is during the spring spawning run when they congregate in shallower areas near inlets and dams. Fall is also productive as they feed heavily before winter. Local tip: Pay attention to water clarity; stripers prefer clearer water, so focus on areas less affected by runoff. A good access point is the public boat ramp on the lake's west side. Remember that striper stocking programs can vary, so check the latest SD Game, Fish & Parks regulations for size and bag limits.
