Winter fly fishing a magical experience in South Dakota

Kevin Woster It’s a magical experience, catching a wild brown trout on a fly while wading an open-water creek in early December. That’s true anywhere. But it’s especially magical in South Dakota. It’s also an extreme aberration from the typical image people have of December angling in this state. Which is, admittedly, mostly hard-water stuff. Really hard water. As in frozen solid.  Ice anglers love winter fishing, of course. And for them, mid-December is really just the start of things. Short-pole things. Peering-down-into-ice-hole things. Pulling-up-fish things. You know, the kind of things that can make a frigid winter afternoon pass pretty quickly for a warmly attired, appropriately equipped angler.
