Drove up to the M Fork Stan just for the day. Very disappointing. River did not look too bad, but I guess it is just a little too high, not quite that clear enough, and too cold. Did a lot of work for just a few smallies. Lots of bait guys around the campsites, they did not seem to be having any luck either. ...
