Public Fishing Waters
Interactive Map for Fishing and Boating
In South Dakota are 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. The Public Fishing Waters Guide was prepared to help anglers find these fishing waters. Nearly 30 species of fish provide anglers a variety of fishing adventures throughout South Dakota. The most popular fish include walleye, salmon, bluegill, crappie, perch, bass, pike, trout, and catfish. South Dakota’s fishing season, with some exceptions (see the current Fishing Handbook for fishing regulations), is open year-round, providing quality, four-season fishing.
