With A Paddle (Fish)

It’s one of the outdoor rituals of early autumn in the Yankton area: the Oct. 1 opening of paddlefish season. Hundreds of anglers lucky enough to secure tags prowled the tailwaters below Gavins Point Dam Wednesday for the start of the monthlong snagging season. A local wildlife official said it was a very good turnout of fishermen (and women) considering the mid-week time slot. One of those who hooked a keeper was Scott Phillips of Tyndall, who brought in this 23.2-pound fish, which measured 34 inches from the front eye to the fork in the tail. Phillips, who’s paddlefished for 25 years, said the releases from the dam’s spillway may have helped churn up more action. To see video from Wednesday’s opener, visit www.yankton.net/.
