October 2025

Here at Fishing the Midwest, we’re very excited about fishing’s future for several reason. Here’s one of those reasons. Earlier this year, Fishing the Midwest television host Mike Frisch checked in at New Evarts Resort on Lake Oahe near Glenham, South Dakota to fish for walleyes. Not only did he fish for walleyes, he and his partner, area guide and New Evarts owner Gabe Outtrim, caught’em. Their biggest one weighed 11 pounds.

For this open water loving angler it’s hard to come to the realization that just a few days remain in the 2025 fishing season.  Rather than focus on what’s mostly in the past, however, I am choosing to stay focused on the future and what fishing days I have left.  For me, the last few open water fishing trips of the season probably will include largemouth bass.
