Hey, Teroy
Some time when you've got two or three hours to kill, load your family in the car & drive up to Spearfish. Go to the old D.C. Booth fish hatchery in the city park. They have a pond there that has some MONSTER trout on display. There is even an underwater viewing gallery where you can really get a close up look at them. Take a pocketfull of quarters. They have fish food vending machines there where you can get a little handful of fish food pellets (& a really stinky hand) for a quarter. The kids usually get a real bang out of watching those big honking browns & bows scarfing up the food. Throw a handfull out & you'll get a boil that will put the most violent wiper boil on Willard to shame for a few seconds.
If seeing those fish doesn't get your blood boiling I don't know what will. They do occasionally release a few of them into Spearfish Creek there in the park & once in a while one will escape.
Have fun,
GEEZER
