Fishing near Aberdeen, SD

Set in Brown County in the heart of northeast South Dakota's Glacial Lakes and Prairies region, Aberdeen puts anglers within roughly 15 miles of prairie lakes, reservoirs, and the James River corridor. The marquee waters are Richmond Lake, an over 1,000-acre impoundment northwest of town, and Mina Lake (Lake Parmley), an 800-acre walleye and panfish lake to the west. The slow-moving James River runs right past the city.
