Dakota Angler Institute Offers More Than Ice Fishing This Year

The Dakota Angler Institute returns to the Sioux Falls Arena and Convention Center for a Halloween-weekend fishing show from October 30 through November 1, 2026. Organizers say the event will feature more than 135 vendors offering fishing equipment, gear, and accessories, along with deals expected to be difficult to beat. The show is positioned as family-friendly, and because it runs after Halloween, kids will be allowed to trick-or-treat at booths. Pro anglers Tom Boley and Jason Mitchell are listed as special guests. Single-day admission is $7, while a three-day pass costs $15, with tickets available at the door.
