NORTHERN HILLS FLY FISHER  a.k.a. Marty Venberg

Marty offers guided trips to a multitude of public and private fishing destinations in the Northern Black Hills. Tours for Fly Fishing in Spring - Summer - Fall and special Ice Fishing Tours in the Winter*. 

The variety of water here allows him to put you on the hottest action in South Dakota. Marty guides mostly wade trips fishing for trout (Brown, Rainbow and Cutthroat) but upon client request many other adventures are available.

Marty and his assistants are comfortable guiding all levels of fisherman, from beginner to expert level and groups from 1 to 30. Seeing his clients learn new techniques or experiencing catching a new species on a fly gives him gratification and reconfirms his love for the sport.

Mt Rushmore- Movies

Picture
National Treasure II - North by Northwest
In 1959  Alfred Hitchcock produced North by Northwest staring Cary Grant, Eva Marie Saint and James Mason. Much of the movie was filmed at Mt Rushmore and is considered one of the top five films ever made.
National Treasure II was filmed in the Black Hills in 2007 and stared Nicholas Cage and Diane Kruger.  They were looking for treasure hidden in a vault somewhere near Mt Rushmore - this is partly true.

Rapid City - Hanging Tree

Ox-Bow Incident 1943- Photo of actual Hanging in 1877 - That tree is still standing today on Skyline Drive.
HANGING TREE in Rapid City -In 1877 two horse thieves and one innocent 'Kid" were taken from jail and lynched by a group of vigilantes. Because there had not been a trial this "Incident"  led to many years of conflict between the town members.  In the 1940's a movie was made based on what happened that night in Rapid City.  The Ox-Bow Incident stared Henry Fonda and Anthony Quinn and displayed what happens to a town when they hang innocent men.
