Striped Bass
While South Dakota might not be the first place that comes to mind for striped bass, Lake Mitchell near Mitchell offers a unique opportunity. This reservoir is stocked with stripers, providing a freshwater fishery that's quite different from traditional coastal striper locations. Spring and fall are peak seasons, as the stripers follow schools of baitfish. During the warmer summer months, target deeper water near the dam using downriggers or heavy jigs. Local anglers often have success trolling large crankbaits or swimbaits. Be prepared for a strong fight, as these fish are known for their power. Before you go, check the South Dakota Game, Fish and Parks website for any specific regulations regarding striped bass, as they may differ from other species.
