Dale,

I friend of yours, Allen, wrote me with a question. I tried several times
to reply but something about my net connection or his ISP refuses to work.
I don't relly have a good answer for him ... suggest he calls Craig Mathews
and asks. I asked a few others and was told Sheepeater area on the
Gardiner was good for kids, but I have zero personal experience there..

Lou T took me there after one of the claves. Easy access and lots of willing
fish, I expect it would be a good place for kids. FWIW

Larry: I also have always heard that is a great place to take kids to
fish, but I have never fished there. I have fished around the Indian
Creek Campground and had a lot of fun with the trout around there.
Nothing huge, but a lot of fun. I have had several nice days playing
with the fish around Norris Junction. I think you gave them excellent
adevice in telling them to contact Craig Matthews and the crew at Blue
Ribbon Flies. Also, there is a fly shop in Gardiner he should probably
touch base with. I suspect that most folks at fly shops want kids to
have fun catching a bunch of fish.

To add another voice to the chorus -- on my first (only) trip out
there to play with the fishies, I had a wonderful time in that area. I
fished the Gardner at Sheepeater and Indian Creek. The brookies were
nearly suicidal around the campground, so it would be perfect for a kid
(or for a newbie like myself). :-)
