Lake Sharpe is a beautiful and unspoiled area. This is the greatest walleye lake in the country. The Missouri River, since construction of the dams in the early 1960's, has become some of the finest walleye production areas in the world. The river opens up in the early spring extremely early, usually latter February or early March allowing fishermen access to the best fishing spots one or two months earlier than any other place. Chamberlain area has the best spawning beds in the entire river system.
Walleye move in from miles away in early spring to lay their eggs.
In middle April during peak spawn, night fishing with rapalas along the shore line will produce limits of two to three pound walleye. After the spawn, walleye move out of the spawning beds south towards White River, Boyer's and Elm Creek and north to the Crow Creek area. Walleye are traditionally caught on spinners and night crawler rigs in May, June and July. Walleye return to the Chamberlain area in the fall to revisit the spawning grounds. The fishery again regains its legend with excellent walleye fishing September and October.
