WE ARE LOOKING FOR NEW INPUT FROM OUR MEMBERS!! 

We heard from the GFP fisheries boys last month.   So many cool things they are doing, we certainly did not have enough time to talk about them all.   Fishing is pretty darn good in SD and they deserve the credit. 

This month we will have a follow up speaker on a project that was mentioned by the GFP.    Justin Herreman is with the Black Hills Paddlers and RC Watershed.   They will talk about the stream park project down by the fairgrounds.   This project was awarded Vison Funds to partially fund it and needs much more support to accomplish.   Come and see what this project has to offer.
~ Jeff Olson, Treasurer ~

We have put a lot of time into the web page also. If anyone has input or would like us to add to our webpage please email us at blackhillssportsmenclub@gmail.com
