June could be good in the Black Hills. Lots of opportunities, including Rapid Creek right in Rapid City! (There's also a very interesting fish hatchery to tour in Rapid City.) By all means track down the book by Steve Kinsella, Trout Fishing in the Black Hills. Contains a lot of useful maps and directions, and honest appraisals of fishing chances.

There are a few reservoirs as well as 20 or so decent streams to fish. Also some ponds and back-country streams that could take your crew all summer to explore. Also check out the FAOL site for archives relating to the Black Hills and Fly Fishing. And, there is a good fly shop right in Rapid City - I'm not at home now, but I think the name of it is Dakaota Angler. Have fun!

Hi all you VFBer's we are planning week long camping/sightseeing trip to the
Black Hills, SD in June. This is a Boy Scout trip. I have 2 boys that have
taken the fly fishing merit badge last year and 3 starting next month. All 5 are
going on the trip and have asked about doing some fishing while we are there.
We will be based around Hill City and Rapid City. Does anyone have any tips as
to flies and streams for this time of year. The boys are 14 to 16 years old
and I would like to make it a great experience for them.
Phil
