Nope, no joke! (Wink, wink.) Those of us who enjoy fishing the Black Hills for the Brown Creek Chubs and Rainbow Dace (Wink, wink) just figure there's no reason for hoards of people wasting their time coming to the Black Hills trying find trout (Wink, wink) and getting in the way of our creek chub and dace fishing. (Wink, wink.)
Oh, and you must have taken a wrong turn on your way to Sturgis. You couldn't have been fishing in the Black Hills. (Wink, wink.)
