what is the portion below the dam I can fish on the SD side with a NE license? Is it only the 0.6 miles from the dam. I fished the NE side today and it was slow to say the least. I would like to give the SD side a shot if I can. Maybe it would be better. Any help is appreciated.
It is all border water, you can fish it all with a Nebraska permit.
From the 2011-2012 Fishing Guide, 2011-2012 Fishing Guide,
Quote:
BORDER WATERS
Anglers holding a Nebraska, South Dakota, Iowa, or Missouri sport fishing license may fish all waters of the Missouri River in the state they are licensed, as well as Missouri
River waters of the state immediately across the river.
• Missouri River waters are defined to include all flowing portions and backwaters, sloughs and chutes that draw water from the Missouri River.
• Oxbows and backwaters separated from the Missouri River by land are included if the state boundary line passes through some part of such waters.
• Mouths of tributaries may be fished only in the state that the angler is licensed.
• Anglers may fish from either bank or boats.
• Anglers fishing in the state for which they do not hold a fishing permit must abide by the more restrictive of the two state’s regulations.
