Bitter Lake is seeing pretty good numbers of walleye with lots of sorting. Opitz seems to be the same as Bitter. All in all the fishing is good in the area, heading in all directions. Water levels are up and all access areas are usable. No flooding yet. Waubay is not at it's peak yet and Bitter seems to be as full as it ever has.

Gary Gangle, Fish Hunter Guide Service July 9th, 2014: Fishing continues to be unbelievable. Walleye, perch, crappies, and big bluegills just seem to keep biting non-stop. Walleyes are excellent in size 16-19 inch class with some 24-26 inch fish mixed in. Limits of perch seem to be a daily event, especially when the wind is not blowing too hard. Most all the local lakes are producing great fishing action. It helps to have good knowledge of the lake you want to fish, so you don't spend too much time chasing some of the crowds that are out there.
Be sure to follow the daily action on our Facebook page - Fish Hunter Guide Service or our website www.fishhunterguideservice.com recent photos of the good fishing. For personal fishing information, please call 605-448-5751 or 605-881-3458 and ask for Gary or Scott or e-mail:

Waubay Lake Guide Service Cory Ewing (605) 929-3894, www.waubaylakeguideservice.com July 1st, 2014: The walleye bite around the Webster, Waubay area continues to be very strong. Waubay Lake is still putting out good numbers of walleyes, and we are starting to see some perch as well. Swan Lake has a fair bite going for walleyes, as well as Piyas Lake which is doing good for eater size walleyes and 9 to 11 inch perch. Keep in mind that you will need a tribal permit to use the north boat ramp access on Piyas Lake. If you would like more information on a guided fishing trip in the Glacial Lakes region, please give me a call. Good luck out there!
