Black Hills Fly Fishing Report January 31st 2024

We Back- Happy 2024 

Warmer than normal weather is kicking off some hatches and creating great fishing conditions for this time of year. Make the most of it! 

Dry fly fishing is picking up on Rapid Creek, likely on Spearfish Creek in town as well. Midges are hatching from 10 am to around 1 pm. We are primarily using size 20-22 midge patterns. Morgans Midges, Para Morgans, CDC Midges, and smaller griffith's gnats. 

Nymphing and streamer fishing is quite good. Fish haven't seemed too picky. I have primarily used walts worms, green weenie midges, and some pheasant tail variants.
