Striped Bass
While South Dakota isn't typically the first place anglers think of for striped bass, the Glacial Lakes region near Egan offers a unique, albeit limited, opportunity. Lake Herman and Lake Madison, just west of Egan, are your best bets. These lakes are stocked with stripers, creating a put-and-take fishery. Spring and early summer, as the water warms, sees increased striper activity. Focus on areas near the inlet streams where they congregate to feed. Trolling crankbaits or casting swimbaits are productive techniques. Be aware that striper populations are maintained through stocking, so size and numbers can fluctuate. Check the South Dakota Game, Fish & Parks website for the latest stocking reports and regulations. Also, local bait shops around Madison can provide up-to-date information on striper activity and preferred baits. Note that access to some areas might require a small fee or permit.
