➤ Support an aquatic resource education program.

➤ Conduct a program of fisheries management research.

➤ Maintain and enhance fish habitat.

➤ Develop state fish hatcheries.

➤ Maintain and repair small dams.

➤ Acquire new fishing and motorboating access sites.

➤ Conduct fisheries management surveys.

➤ Renovate stunted fish populations.

➤ Develop a comprehensive planned management system for fisheries.

➤ Construct new fishing waters.

PUBLIC FISHING WATERSIn South Dakota are some of the finest fishing waters in North America. Be-

tween the mountain lakes and streams of the Black Hills and the glacial lakesof eastern South Dakota, anglers will find fishing opportunities in stock dams,prairie rivers, and giant reservoirs. This guide was prepared to help anglersfind these fishing waters.

Nearly 30 species of fish provide anglers a variety of fishing adventuresthrougout South Dakota. The most popular fish include walleye, salmon, blue-gill, crappie, perch, bass, pike, trout and catfish. South Dakota’s fishing sea-son, with some exceptions (See current Fishing Handbook for fishing regula-tions), is open year-round, providing quality, four-season fishing.

Lake Contour MapsGame, Fish and Parks publishes Lake Contour Maps of more than 100

lakes that have been mapped over the years. Lakes with maps are indicated inthe guide. Fishermen who would like a map of their favorite fishing waters canget one free of charge from most Game, Fish and Parks offices or by writing toLake Maps, Game, Fish and Parks, 523 East Capitol, Pierre, SD 57501.

They used to call her Old Muddy, but the term no longer applies because today’sMissouri River is a far cry from the muddy, winding waterway that Lewis and Clarktraveled almost 200 years ago. Four massive dams, built from the late 1940s to theearly 1960s, tamed the river and created over 900 square miles of open water.These four large reservoirs now provide 40 percent of the fishing that annually oc-curs in the state and attract at least half a million anglers.

Game, Fish and Parks began its reservoir studies in the mid-1950s on LakesFrancis Case and Lewis and Clark and in the ’60 on Lakes Oahe and Sharpe.Game, Fish and Parks early on recognized the aesthetic, social and economic val-ues to the state of the Missouri River fishery and related recreation.

In keeping with the statutory mandate to manage the fisheries, Game, Fish andParks designated a staff of biologists, gave them a budget, and made the MissouriRiver fisheries program a high priority. Facilities like boat access areas were con-structed, state recreation areas were developed and fish culture facilities were con-structed near the reservoirs.

The Reservoir Research and Management staff developed methods to monitorfish populations in the reservoirs. State-of-the-art techniques are used to gather bio-logical data to evaluate current fishing regulations and management. The missionhas been designed to maximize recreation fishing opportunity while not jeopardizingthe long-term well-being of the fish populations. Department biologists have devel-oped management plans that establish goals and objectives for each species man-agement in the reservoirs. They are continually trying to make the reservoir programmore efficient and progressive.

SOUTH DAKOTAFISHERIES MANAGEMENT

South Dakota is blessed with over 700,000 acres of public fishingwaters. Most of it is concentrated in the Missouri River Impound-ments, right in the middle of the state away from any of the majorpopulation centers. Many natural lakes dot the eastern third of thestate, however, and numerous impoundments have been construct-ed over the rest of the state. Eight major tributary rivers and the Mis-souri River provide abundant fish opportunities, not to mention thesmaller streams from the Black Hills in the west to the Prairie Coteauin the east. In all, there are 450 public fishing lakes and 10,000 milesof streams and rivers managed for fish.

Those waters are divided into four management regions and theMissouri River corridor. The Department of Game, Fish and Parksfisheries program goal is to provide the greatest amount of fishingrecreational opportunity possible without harming the resource. Toaccomplish its goal, managers conduct fish population surveys, de-velop lake and stream management plans, manipulate fish numbers,preserve and improve habitat, develop harvest strategies and rec-ommended regulations, plus involve themselves in many other activ-ities geared to maintain or improve fishing.

The department operates three fish hatcheries, three spawningstations, and a salmon spawning and imprinting station as supportfacilities for the fish managers. The U.S Fish and Wildlife Servicealso operates a National Fish Hatchery in the state where fish arereared for use in the Missouri River system. Annual production ofhatchery fish for restocking lakes and rivers number in the millions.These stocks are not used indiscriminately but are placed accordingto the need determined by surveys and as prescribed in manage-ment plans. Approximately $1 million is expended yearly to rear anddistribute fish. As one would expect, a system of quality use assu-rance is used to ensure the best results possible are obtained fromthe state’s expenditure and efforts.

Fishing is one of the leading outdoor activities. It is highly valuedby South Dakotans and visitors alike. Every year nearly 300,000 an-glers spend more than 3.5 million days fishing in South Dakota wa-ters. Catching fish is just one of the things that makes the sport en-joyable, but it may be the essential ingredient that makes fishingappeal to so many. Fishing is good in South Dakota, and anglershere have a wide variety of waters in which to pursue their sport.
