Spreading the faith in South Dakota..........

[Bill Kiene semi-retired]

We visit my wife's relatives in southeastern South Dakota every year, spring or fall.

Lots of hunters and anglers in South Dakota, but not many fly fishers.

I usually get one or two converts to fly fishing on every trip.

Last night we went to a family farm, out of Platte, SD, and got several people infected with the help of aggressive large mouth bass on poppers.

Most hunt and fish their entire life so they are ready for something new and different.

With good farm ponds it is pretty easy to get someone going.......

Went to a conference in Spearfish, SD, several years ago. (Northwest corner of the state.) Took my fishing gear and found several nice little creeks and beaver ponds. I don't think many people fished that area. The catching was easy and fun.
