Striped Bass
While South Dakota isn't the first place that comes to mind for striped bass, Northville offers a unique opportunity to target these hard-fighting fish in a freshwater environment. The key is Lake Oahe, a massive reservoir on the Missouri River. Oahe's tailwaters below the dam are where stripers thrive, benefiting from consistent water flow and abundant baitfish. Spring and fall are prime times. Spring sees stripers moving shallow to spawn, while fall finds them aggressively feeding before winter. Trolling crankbaits or casting swimbaits near the dam can be very effective. Access is readily available at the Northville Recreation Area, offering boat ramps and shoreline access. Be aware of fluctuating water levels, especially during power generation. The stripers in Oahe are known for their impressive size, so be prepared for a battle!
