Walleye Fishing on The Missouri River with Midwest Bass Hunter and my724outdoors.com!
Got to do some Walleye Fishing on The Missouri River. I had the opportunity to get out with my brother Carl in his boat chasing walleye on Lewis & Clark Lake on the Missouri River. This lake is the last reservoir on the Missouri before it dumps into the Mississippi. It is located on the border of Nebraska and South Dakota. We were bottom bouncing which is an effective and relaxing way to fish. We had a pretty good afternoon of fishing.
Midwest Bass Hunter has a ton of great bait and tackle review videos! He does the work so you don’t have too! Here are just a few of his great videos!

Lewis and Clark Lake
The smallest of the four reservoirs, Lewis and Clark Lake is a charming body of water that attracts over two million visitors per year. Situated on the border of South Dakota and Nebraska, the area boasts beautiful chalky bluffs along the shore near Gavins Point Dam in Yankton. The twenty-five mile long lake holds a special attraction for sailing enthusiasts and brightly colored sailing masts dot the water all summer long. They share the waters with boaters, skiers and fishermen.
Outdoor recreation, camping, fishing and hunting are popular attractions in and around the Lewis and Clark Lake area. It was in this area, at Calumet Bluff, that Lewis and Clark had their first meeting with the Yankton Sioux in 1804. Today, the Lewis and Clark Visitor Center, overlooking Gavins Point Dam, offers exhibits on the river’s natural resources, the people who have lived along its banks and Lewis and Clark’s expedition.
On either end of Lewis and Clark Lake sit two natural segments of Missouri River that flow unrestricted. These narrow, winding waters more closely resemble what Lewis and Clark would have seen as they came up the Mighty Mo.
Gavins Point Dam
Gavins Point Dam, located four miles west of Yankton, was authorized by the Flood Control Act of 1944. Ground was broken at the dam site on May 18, 1952, in a ceremony attended by Lieutenant General Lewis Pick, then Chief of Engineers, and the Governors of South Dakota and Nebraska. Construction began immediately and in September 1956 the power plant began producing electricity.
Tree-lined public camping areas surround the lake above and below Gavins Point Dam. Camping facilities provided by the Corps and the States of South Dakota and Nebraska include campsites with electricity, modern restrooms, playground equipment and trailer dump stations.
