Waubay Lake

[MapSD]

10/18 Fished Waubay. The fishing was GREAT! The lake was like glass. As the pheasant opener was saturday, I expected a bunch of boats to come off the water before noon. That did not happen. If the new regs. take effect there will be some AWESOME ice fishing.

Mike,
What are the proposed new regulations?

14 inch size limit with one over 20 inches.
With a 2 fish limit. This is what I was told.

i also fished waubay on 10-18 and on 10-19. Wow was it awesome fishing! The two of us boated well over a hundred eyes on saturday. Most of them around the 15 inch mark but we could have easily kept our 4 eyes over 16 inches. Sunday we targeted them perch, it took a while but when we found them we had our 20 in less than a half hour, all ten to twelve inchers, and they were very tasty i might add. We fished straight east of the Kanago access and a shade back north. pretty much all alone both days. I would definitely agree with those new proposed regs on waubay. Many of the walleyes we caught were looking a little skinny, I think it would be a good idea to thin some of them out to better promote the growth of those fish.
