Eazy E Outfitting is your premier multi-species fishing outfitter in the beautiful Black Hills region of South Dakota, which means that we fish for anything from rainbow trout & walleyes to bluegills & crappies! Whether you are a novice or an experienced angler, I am dedicated to providing you with an unforgettable fishing experience.
Lakes & Species Include:
- Sheridan Lake: Rainbow Trout, Largemouth + Smallmouth Bass, BULL Bluegill, Crappie, Yellow Perch + Trophy Northern Pike
- Pactola Lake: Rainbow Trout, Brown Trout, Lake Trout + Trophy Northern Pike
- Angostura Reservoir: Walleye, Smallmouth Bass + Slab Crappies

*I will always recommend what I think to be the best bite possible – some times of year are better than others depending on the species*
What I Provide

- Premium fishing gear & tackle
- Live bait
- Fish processing & packaging
- Photos from your trip

I can accommodate up to 4 adults comfortably in my Ranger 620VS. Top of the line Humminbird + Garmin electronics (including dual livescopes!) are also used on your trip. My boat is also equipped with a Bimini top to deploy in the case of a rain event or relief from sunshine.
*If needing to accommodate groups larger than 4 adults (+ children), I have a great relationship with the local marinas on Sheridan & Pactola lakes to get you setup with pontoon rentals to better suit large groups, while also putting you on the fish*
What to Bring

Where & When We Will Meet
We will meet at one of the boat ramps on whichever lake we are fishing – I will be in contact with you 1 or 2 days prior to determine the location. The boat will be in the water prior to your arrival/start time and ready to go. Note: All boat ramps on the lakes we fish do require daily use/parking permits that can be purchased when entering lake access points.
*Full-Day guide trips begin @ 7am MST (8 hours)
*Half-Day guide trips (4 hours) can be adjusted to accommodate the client’s schedule

In June my family and I had a half day fishing trip with Erik. I wasn't sure how much we could really catch in 4 hours but our time with him did not disappoint. We were catching crappie, perch and huge bluegill. Our son was even able to reel in his best catch ever, with a 32.5 inch northern pike. Erik was a great guide and we all really enjoyed our time spent out on the lake with him.
Above and beyond guide service! If you’re on the fence about a guided fishing trip in the Black Hills of SD, this is an easy yes with Eazy-E!
Erik and I talked about a trip where he could teach me how to use a scope at the Sioux Falls Sportsman's Show. I booked for June at Lake Angostura. I sat upfront with him and the technology. We had a blast watching the fish react, and in many instances not react to our baits. We limited on walleyes and found a few slab crappies who were willing to cooperate. The guy knows the lake like the back of his hand. In two days we completely covered the lake's underwater structure and focused on submerged trees. I learned a lot about technology, the lake and multiple presentations. Erik is professional, courteous, and committed to getting you on the fish. Whether they bite is still up to the fish! Highly recommend from a solo educational trip to a leisurely family trip. Well done Erik!
Had a great time and caught a lot of fish! Beautiful day on the water!!!
