Fall Fishing Hotspots & Salmon Spawning | Pierre News

Fall fishing’s heating up with salmon in prime condition and big catches on the menu—head to the West Whitlock RA Salmon Spawning Station opening next month (dates TBD, call ahead!) for school tours and hands-on action. Lake Sharpe’s delivering strong bites if you nail your bait placement and mimic gizzard shad; lower Missouri River’s fair to good but demands precision, especially dawn and dusk; walleye are scattered above Fort Randall and across Lewis and Clark Lake, so move around, adapt your gear, and target those prime windows for the best shots.
