Missouri River Walleye Length Limits Change

PIERRE, S.D. -- The South Dakota Game, Fish and Parks (GFP) would like to remind anglers that during the months of July and August, there is no minimum length restriction for walleyes on Lake Sharpe, Francis Case or on the portion of the Missouri River from the point where the river becomes Dakota/Nebraska border upstream to Fort Randall Dam.

Anglers are only allowed one fish over 20 inches in their daily limits and possession limits remain the same.

Lake Oahe has no minimum length restrictions for walleye and the stretch of the Missouri River that defines the South Dakota/Nebraska border, including Lewis and Clark Reservoir, will retain the 15 inch minimum walleye length limits.
