Hey, better mention that the Big Wood is a nice trout river thru Ketchum. ... Isn't the little gem I've read about called Silver Creek a trib of the Big Wood? (I never saw it coming back thru S-Valley from the upper Salmon/Stanley Basin). And if you get the time, lend us your fly expertise and tell us what you would use in the B Wood this time of year. Fast sink tip and black wooleys? ... btw, I haven't had the pleasure of experiencing Fred's in M-town either. Geez, I thought I got around

Also, I can't travel far yet with the lingering broken tailbone challenge Dan. If I can have a friend drive me up while I stretch out on the back seat I could make it up to fish pretty soon. On my own will have to wait into the new year a bit. Keep in touch. I know you're are going to be surrounded in every direction from your place with steel chrome!
