Jim,
Sorry that my comment about hiring a guide for Silver Creek was a bit
ambiguous.
As with most family vacations, precious little fishing time seems to
be sandwiched between lots of family or group activities. On one
non-fishing outing, I had picked up a brochure for Silver Creek
Outfitters which is where I got the idea that a guide would help me
to quickly cut to the chase in figuring out unfamiliar waters.
Not having fished Silver Creek, I have no idea whether one is
necessary or not. But if Silver Creek has the same relatively few
public access points as the Big Wood, I can easily imagine that a
half day spent with a guide might make a couple of subsequent days
spent alone much more productive.
Thanks for your tip on the Little Wood. Looks like we might be
repeating the same vacation next year.
