Lake Oahe is a 370,000-acre Missouri River reservoir stretching from Oahe Dam at Pierre, South Dakota north through the Standing Rock Sioux Reservation into south-central North Dakota — the largest reservoir in South Dakota by surface area and one of the most celebrated walleye fisheries in North America. The Mobridge corridor on the Standing Rock Sioux Reservation side of the lake sits near the geographic center of Oahe’s most productive walleye water — the expansive Missouri River impoundment produces walleye fishing that draws dedicated anglers from across the northern United States and Canada who specifically target the Mobridge reach for its trophy walleye potential. The lake stretches approximately 231 miles from Oahe Dam to the Bismarck North Dakota area, creating a massive reservoir across the rolling prairie of central South Dakota and south-central North Dakota with 2,250 miles of shoreline. Northern pike, smallmouth bass, chinook salmon, and channel catfish round out the year-round fishery.

Most fire marshals and storage facilities require your tank to be either 95% full (to prevent condensation) or nearly empty (less than 5 gallons) for safety. Regardless of the level, always use a high-quality fuel stabilizer to prevent ethanol phase-separation during the long Midwest winter.
Most standard policies cover the hull while in a lay-up period, but you must notify your agent if you are moving it to a professional facility. Some facilities require you to provide a Certificate of Insurance naming them as additionally insured before they will accept the vessel.
Dry-stacking is ideal for boaters who want the protection of indoor storage without the hassle of a trailer. Your boat is stored in a giant rack system and “valeted” into the water by a heavy-duty forklift whenever you’re ready to ride. This is a very popular option for large cruisers on the Great Lakes.
