A brief period of cooler weather is expected over the weekend, which could slow fishing activity slightly, though the bite is generally favorable in the Black Hills area, with some white-eye activity reported in prairie lakes and continued activity for trout and other species.
Lake temperatures are warming, a situation that has increased better bites, and recent moisture has helped stream flows in the area.
Missing:Next week's Memorial Day weekend will see a period of warm weather. That could be followed by a few weeks of calm winds.
In the meantime, let's take a look at what's been happening lately.
Angostura Reservoir:Last weekend's walleye tournament produced some pretty impressive results, with multiple teams weighing in 12 walleye over the course of two days, with the winning team topping the leaderboard with a weight of 28.10 pounds. Bass, black bass and catfish have also been reported recently.
Bearburg Lake:A few walleye and the occasional pike (jig and minnow) were present on days with little wind.
