Fishing has been solid all around the Black Hills, and as winter slowly recedes we’ve been finding some more active fish and more places to go. The dry fly fishing has been god to great depending on the day, and fish have been more than willing to eat nymphs just about everywhere. The weather this week looks to be a nice change from what we’ve been having, and it looks like it’s going to be a great week to be out on the water in the Black Hills!

Rapid Creek continues to fish very well through Rapid City. Flows have been increased below Pactola Reservoir which has made for much better fishing in the tailwater. Hatches of midges and Baetis continue to offer superb dry fly fishing nearly every day. The surface activity starts as early as 8:00 am and can last until mid afternoon. Typically the hatches start earlier on warmer mornings. Fishing with size 18-20 midge adult patterns and size 16-18 Baetis dries is the ticket. We have had good luck with Griffith’s Gnats, Sipper Midges, Students, CDC Thorax Duns, and CDC baetis.

Fishing throughout the Black Hills continues to be great, and the streams are all pretty vacant for the most part. This time of year offers some of our favorite fishing, and is generally pretty productive regardless of what method you choose to fish. The dry fly fishing has started to get good as well, with a midges hatching on most streams and Blue Winged Olives starting to get fired up. A lot of the smaller streams are starting to open up as well, and the fishing just about everywhere has been great!
Rapid Creek below Pactola has been fishing alright, but...

It’s finally been above freezing for the last few days, and the fishing has been fantastic! The warmer weather has brought quite a few fish to the surface most days, and the nymphing has been great if they’re not on the surface. The weather over the next few days looks to be in the high twenties to low thirties, which is a heck of a lot better than it has been for the past month!
Rapid Creek in town has been one of the best bets for consistent fishing, and also has the most consistent dry fly fishing of just...
