    SD Glacial Lakes Trip Planned for June

    Thursday, March 4, 2010, 11:36 PM MST [General]

    I've got a trip planned for the first week in June to the Northeast section of SD.

    I used to work fisheries up there and know a few lakes that hold monster smallies, largemouth, walleye, and pike. I am stoked to get up there. I haven't caught a walleye on a flyrod yet, but there is a very good chance of doing so on this trip.

    I'll be targeting smallies with a few minnow patterns, crawfish patterns and hoppers that I tied up, this is seriously going to be awsesome.

    I will be fishing the Conejos, Red river and Rio Grande until then. I hop to get some good pictures, that way I can make this a legit blog. Until then, have fun slinging bugs.

    Yeah, that sounds like the Conejos I remember. Would love to get back there and fish it again. Beautiful there also. I lived in Oklahoma for the past 5 years and I know what you mean about driving to get somewhere to fish. I would go to Missouri and fish a few places there. About a 6 hour drive. Now I live in Montana and can't wait to try out some of the rivers and lakes around here. I have seen some awesome pictures and heard some great fish stories already. Let me know how you do this year.

    Later,
    Mike
