Big Stone Lake is a border water between Minnesota and South Dakota.  Your SD or MN fishing license is legal no matter which side of the lake you stay!  Walleyes are the predominate fish of  Big Stone Lake - however there are nice populations of perch.  In addition, there are also some crappie, blue gill, white bass and Northern pike.

We offer 4 large fishing docks for guests who opt for shoreline fishing versus a boat.

Fishing Report
 Updated 10/24/2011
Join us on

The fishing activity on Big Stone Lake has ground down to almost a standstill. As stated last week many avid sportsmen are hunters as well as anglers and have put the rods away to pull out the shotguns. Therefore, traffic has really dropped off.

There are a few die hards out there and there remains a few perch to catch and a random walleye to net. But for many the fishing will wait until hard water or early next spring.

Until then, this reporter is putting away the typewriter for a few months until the fishing activity starts up again. In the meantime, watch for us at your neighborhood sport show or follow us on Facebook/SchmidtsLanding for any of the latest lake news. We will always be eager to share some "setting the hook" techniques or just talk fishing!
