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. |

Once again mother
nature has made it a
real challenge to be
out on Big Stone
Lake this past
week. Rain and much
cooler daytime
temperatures has
kept people off the
water. This coupled
with the opening of
several hunting
seasons in the area
has made putting
together this report
a real challenge as
there is little to
no action going on.
There is the typical
fall bite at the
foot of the lake
near Ortonville with
reports of anglers
getting a lot of
small walleye, but
also reports of some
very nice walleye
being taken as
well. The larger
walleye are in the 6
to 8 pound range and
being caught on
anything from slip
bobbers to pitching
jigs to crappie
rigs. It is all
timing and patience.
But even then the
cool night time
temps have kept many
from even trying
this evening
activity.
Hopes are there will
be an Indian Summer
in November and
anglers will be able
to set the hook on
the open water bite
before the hard
water sets in.
