Busted through the road to Stanley Lake today hoping to get on the ice. Guess what. No ice. Don't bother trying to get a truck in there. After the next snow storm the road will be completely impassable by truck. It took almost an hour to chop my way in 3.5 miles. Did manage to pull a few small Rainbows out of a pond near Lowman, though.

Thanks for the report--I tried to fish that a few Thanksgivings back, however, I found the same situation of it being wide open. Lowman Pond was my back up as well--cool spot to fish for those planters. The best thing about fishing from Stanley to Garden Valley is all the hot springs; another passion of mine!
