Early Spring Walleye Fishing on the Missouri River

Fishing for early spring walleye on the Missouri River near Chamberlain, South Dakota. Cold water can make for some slow fishing but with a few tweaks, you can convince them to bite.

Great info on early spring techniques. I hope to fish that area in May. Good luck this season. 😊

What do you think the future of Francis Case is with all the pressure on the lake?

[@TheWalleyeGuys]

The future looks great, there wasn't much pressure the last two springs due to weather and it has been below average this season so far. The fishery is extremely healthy and the fish coming out of Chamberlain probably account for less than 5% of the population. There is fish being caught from one end to the other right now.
