While South Dakota isn't typically known for striped bass, a few select waters near Ramona offer the chance to tangle with these hard-fighting fish. Lake Thompson, while primarily known for walleye, has been stocked with striped bass in the past, and some fish may persist. The key is to understand that this isn't a dedicated striper fishery, so managing expectations is important. Focus on areas with deep water and current, such as near the dam or in the main lake channel. Trolling large crankbaits or casting swimbaits can be effective. A local tip: check with the South Dakota Game, Fish and Parks for the latest stocking information and regulations regarding striped bass. Also, be prepared for a challenging bite; stripers in this environment can be unpredictable. If you do manage to hook one, you're in for a real fight! Even if you don't catch a striper, Lake Thompson offers excellent fishing for other species, making it a worthwhile destination.
