As the New Year begins, so does South Dakota’s remarkable
ice fishing season. Walleye and northern pike are the biggest
of the winter catches, but it’s the smaller yellow perch, topping
out at about two pounds, that draws the most attention. For
perch, crappie, bass, northern pike and walleye, fish through
the ice at Griffin Park and Farm Island. Find walleye, sauger,
northern pike, bass, channel catfish, salmon, trout and panfish
at Oahe Downstream. Ice fishing isn’t the only option: Cast from
the fishing pier at the causeway north of LaFramboise Island,
a well-known spot for wintertime walleye, trout and northern
pike fishing. General information about fishing in South Dakota,
including licensing and fishing tips, is online at www.gfp.sd.gov.
