Bait & Tackle Shops in Pierre

1 listing · ranked by rating & reviews · updated 2026

Bait and tackle shops are the local hub for anglers - the place to grab live and fresh bait, restock terminal tackle, pick up a fishing license and get honest, current intel on what is biting nearby. A good local shop knows the waters better than any app: which spots are producing, what the fish are hitting, and which rig works this week. Many also sell or rent gear, spool reels and point newcomers toward beginner-friendly spots and charters. Hours and stock vary, and live bait can sell out early on a good weekend, so it is worth a call ahead. The listings here help you find nearby shops by city and state, ranked by reviews.

How much does a fishing guide cost in Pierre? +

What is the main fish in Lake Oahe? +
Walleye is the primary target, with landlocked chinook salmon, northern pike and smallmouth bass also available across the reservoir.
How do guides fish such a big reservoir? +
On water this size, guides rely on trolling crankbaits and bottom-bouncing spinner rigs to cover ground and locate fish along points, flats and the submerged river channel.
When is the best time to fish Pierre? +
Spring and fall produce the strongest walleye action, while summer brings chinook salmon and smallmouth into the mix on Lake Oahe.
