Glad you were able to get out. I was up there last Monday-Wednesday in the Stanley area and it was COLD. We did manage to catch a few fish everyday, but the bite was afternoon both Monday and Tuesday and mid morning on Wednesday. It seemed that the fish were a lot nicer this year, even though they are fewer in number. I was fortunate enough to land one hatchery male that was 36 1/4". One of my largest on that stretch in a long time. I'd imagine that the Sawtooth has probably around 1500 fish at this time. I wonder how many more they are expecting. I can't get a great feel on it. It is hard to say with success being limited in the lower stretches of the river this year. I'm hoping to get one to two more weeks at it, but we will see.
