made it home yesterday. we stayed in the Clayton area for 4 days. we fished that area the first 2 days with only 2 fish caught and a handful more that we lost. Thursday the weather was rainy and we drove up to Stanley to check out the slide areas in the canyon.... WOW!!! those avalanches were impressive. we heard some good reports around buck horn bridge and stopped to see if we could fit in. When we got there, there were 6 ppl fishing and 4 of them had fish on. I fished for 2 hours in a down right blizzard and hooked up 8 fish and landed half of them, we also fished buck horn on saturday but the fishing was slower only landing 1. Water was clear all the way to challis but water level fluctuated day to day but was on the high side the entire trip. There is a lot of falling rocks coming down onto the road so slow down a bit. We ended up having to pull a elderly man out of his truck and up the hill just above Clayton as he had swerved to miss a rock and ended up in the river.
