South Dakota

South Dakota's 3 public access points span reservoirs, across 3 counties. Across them, the species anglers most often target are Walleye, Smallmouth Bass, Northern Pike, and Yellow Perch. Each is scored live on water temperature, river flow, moon phase, barometric pressure, and weather. Always confirm current size, creel, and season limits with the South Dakota state fishery agency before keeping fish — we flag any species whose regulations we haven't yet verified.
