Spread by microorganisms, this killer of trout damages the cartilage of young trout, causing them to swim in an erratic manner. The Game, Fish and Parks Department publishes an outstanding fishing guide to the Black Hills that provides descriptions of the fish found in the region and maps of all the watersheds. There is also information about common fly patterns and detailed information about access points. The guide is a very handy reference for anyone who wants to spend time fishing in the region. Contact the department through their homepage to get a free copy.
Deadwood makes a great hub for outdoor activity in the region.
It is a short drive to great hunting or fishing, and the town offers all the services most outdoor enthusiasts need. While many people are speeding by on the interstate, those who stop in Deadwood truly find a treasure tucked into the hills. Photos by South Dakota Tourism. All rights reserved. Inc.
