When you think of fly-fishing, the Midwest U.S. typically isn’t the first place that comes to mind as the ideal “fly fishing destination”. However, we’re here to show you otherwise! This season, we’re traveling further than ever before in pursuit of fried food, big fish, and a chance to sit down with an all-new group of legendary fly shops that are paving the way for our sport like never before. So grab yourself a big bag of cheese curds and buckle up, because this tour is about to get (mid)Western!
In this episode, we kick off our tour with Dakota Anglers in the foothills of South Dakota: the gateway to the Midwest. In the next 23 minutes, you can expect a healthy helping of high winds, heartbreak, and belt malfunctions, along with some new species never before targeted on Fly Shop Tour. Witness the live action in real time in a season premiere like no other! THIS IS THE FLY SHOP TOUR!
