Our summer season in Stanley, Idaho is nearing an end but we’ve still had a little time to get out and fish.  Mary Ann and I hit a local spring creek, Bear Valley Creek, a few days ago.  While you don’t normally get huge numbers of fish at Bear Valley, the ones you do get are often very nice.  We picked up a few nice fish on hoppers, with small nymph droppers.  Here is a shot of Bear Valley Creek, and two of the fish we caught.
