Here's a long shot: I will be in Sturgis, SD, this August 9th working at the
bike rally (there for the full 10 days). Is there by any chance someone who
who lives around there and who would like maybe to take a complete beginner
out fly fishing for an afternoon? I have rod, reel and will soon have line
and flies. What I need is some help. Anyone?

I remember fishing the Lamar (in Yellowstone Park) about 10 years
ago--in late summer--when Sturgis was just fizzling out.
I heard a great roar. I looked up and saw at least 100 bikes
thundering down the road. The first 4-5 riders where old
farts in their 50's with long gray hair and beards,
wearing Oakland Hell's Angles jackets. I thought I recognized
Sonny Barger at the point. But maybe I was just imagining it.

I also remember thinking that if it happened no more often than
once a year it was cool. Else it would be time for carpet tacks
and guy wires. Ak 47s, even.
