South Dakota contains some of the finest fishing waters in North America. Between the mountain lakes and streams of the Black Hills and the glacial lakes of eastern South Dakota, anglers will find fishing opportunities in stock dams, prairie rivers, and giant reservoirs. Nearly 30 fish species provide anglers with a variety of fishing adventures. The most popular fish include walleye, salmon, bluegill, crappie, perch, bass, pike, trout and catfish. South Dakota's fishing season, with some exceptions, is open year-round, providing quality, four-season fishing.
