thanks rw

Took your suggestion and went to Silver Creek/ Big Wood for a couple
weeks. I've never been there this late in the year and it was
WONDERFUL. The fishing was good enough, the enjoying nature great,
and I had the place to myself a couple days.

Thanks from Battle Mountain Nevada ...voted arm pit of America by the
Washington Post and apperently it's a high point of civic pride here
!!!! The McDonalds does have WiFi and coffee, so it ain't all bad

Told ya so! :-) You might enjoy the Green Drake hatch on the Big Wood in
June. The water is high, but the bugs are big and the fish are eager.

I do that Idaho/California drive a couple of times a year. It's largely
void of any culture or refinement, but one of these days I'd like to
stop in Elko for the Cowboy Poetry Gathering. :-) Seriously, I've heard
it's good.

In 2004 it was January 24 -31. That's just about the time I head back to
Idaho. This year, I might make it.

I fly over Battle Mtn. on my way to jackpot for fun weekends and
have noticed some small streams up some of those canyons with beaver
dams. Are they accessable. It looks as though they come out of the
mountain, run for maybe a mile then go back underground.

For many years I ran retrievers on the "Idaho circuits" each year, often
making the drive ( round trip) two or three times each season. .... a lot
more times than the scenery and Nevada 'culture' can justify G

I had an employee who went on to get a degree in fisheries biology ( I gave
him his first fly rod ). He then got a job, for a year or so, in the
Elko/Wells area surveying streams and ponds for environmental impact work
for mining companies. He, and a couple other 'contacts' have told me of
places with big fish and plenty of them 30 or 40 dirt road miles off the
highways, especially near Wells. Someday, I plan to stop and check some
of them out, but I'm usually too eager to see the "Welcome to Idaho" sign
going one direction and just get home going the other.
