Black Hills Fishing Report July 22nd 2021
Fishing remains good on Rapid Creek, Spearfish Creek, and Castle Creek. We have been fortunate to get some showers from thunderstorms the past few days. That has helped flows on Black Hills streams. Definitely have to keep an eye on water temperatures at lower elevations.
Rapid Creek has fished well above and below Pactola Reservoir. Above Pactola anglers will find success hiking up from Silver City. Dry Dropper rigs are the ticket for most of this stretch. Just below Pactola in the catch and release area, anglers can target fish with larger terrestrial...

Fishing has been good to great depending on the day throughout the Black Hills, particularly in the mornings and late evenings when the weather and water temps are cooler. We have one more really hot day on tap this week, but then it looks like we will get back to more seasonable temperatures. Cooler temps will definitely bump the fishing into high gear!
Rapid Creek above Pactola is fishing well from Silver City well past Rochford. The further upstream you get, the better the dry fly and terrestrial fishing will be. In the Rochford area, hoppers have been working really...

Black Hills Fishing Report – 8/15/2020
We’ve had some warmer, drier weather over the past few weeks, but the fishing on Rapid, Spearfish, and Castle Creek is still solid. There have been increasing numbers of hoppers around, which has created some good dry fly opportunities!
Rapid Creek above Pactola has been good, particularly in the higher elevations. Nymph fishing has been good near Silver City with various jigs and midges. Assassins, North Fork Specials, Optic Nerves, and Jig Prince Nymphs have been great bets. If the fish get picky, drop a Zebra midge in size 16-18 behind as a...

Black Hills Fly Fishing Report April 8th 2020
Flows have increased around the Black Hills over the past week as snow melt from higher upstream has made it into our streams. Fishing continues to be good to excellent. Baetis mayflies, little black stoneflies, and midges are hatching. Flows in some areas have kept fish from feeding much on the surface. We have had excellent luck nymphing. Streamer bite should be good as well. Opportunities for dry fly fishing exist, but they have been inconsistent.
Rapid Creek is clearest below Pactola Reservoir. Flows are up to 130 cfs...
