Sheridan Lake: Perch bite continues to improve as the water temps cool. Fish are located in 30-35 feet of water, a couple of feet off the bottom, and responding to crawlers and small jigs. Also, some northern pike in the two to seven-pound range have been caught on chubs near the Spring Creek inlet and north boat docks.
Lake Oahe: Though the cold weather front that cascaded through the area over the Labor Day weekend slowed fishing activity in recent days, limits of walleye remain the standard on the big lake. Fish are still deep (45-60 feet) as the thermocline has not yet broken down. Working bottom bouncers/crawler rigs or jigging raps are producing limits of nice sized fish.
Lake Sharpe: Walleye bite continues from the tailrace all the way down to Ft. George area though fish are well disbursed and can be difficult to locate, a situation that will likely continue until the weed growth disappears. Fish are much shallower than above (10 feet or thereabouts) and responding to bouncer/crawler spinner rigs.
Lake Francis Case: Not a lot of reports received recently as the Chamberlain area has been slow and reports from elsewhere have been sketchy. Bouncer/crawler rigs at depths of 15-25 feet of water would seem to be a good starting point.
