  Sandy,

I am Stan Todd. I truely enjoyed your web site. I was Pat Barnes first full time fishing guide. Many of the articles were like a trip down memory lane.

I had the pleasure of working for Dan Bailey and Red Monical and then Pat Barnes.
At one time there were only two people guiding with drift boats in Montana (Pat and I).
We were blessed to float many of the Montana and Idaho Rivers in drift boats before anyone else.

Dan Bailey once commented that Pat and I did more guide trips than all the the other fishing guides in Montana combined. It is hard for me to imagine that there were so few fishing guides and that Pat and I did so many trips,

Stan
