DABearSoX Posted April 27, 2009 Share Posted April 27, 2009 My girlfriend and I like to plan a nice camping trip every summer where there is some fly fishing. Last year we went down to New Mexico's Cimarron Canyon State park and had a great time. This year I was thinking of heading up to South Dakota seeing that it is only about a 6 hour drive from here, and I have never been to the badlands/black hills/Mt. Rushmore. Just wondering if anyone has some good info on the area and some good rivers/streams/creeks to fish in... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
witesoxfan Posted April 27, 2009 Share Posted April 27, 2009 don't know about creeks and rivers to fish in, but the entire Rapid City area is a huge tourist attraction. If you do head to Mount Rushmore, make sure to stop by Keystone. It's along the way and it's just a town that is set up like an old western town with saloon looking buildings all over. There is also a saltwater taffy shop in Keystone that has taffy to die for, if you like it. It's absolutely gorgeous in the hills too as the scenery is something to die for. You can probably research a bit online, and there are some people you can probably talk to in Rapid too. There should be a game, fish, and parks building in the area, and they'd be able to help you out immensely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
knightni Posted April 27, 2009 Share Posted April 27, 2009 What kind of bait do you use when you fish for flies? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rushmore I have herd it really isn't anything special and it is always way over crowded. I will make sure to stop in Keystone though, i love that wild west stuff....would that be better than Deadwood? I've always wanted to check that out and then after the HBO show i wanted to more.

Stop by Wall Drug and get a bumper sticker saying you went to Wall Drug. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
