Fishing	River/Region	Type of Trip	Fish Type	Season	Business	Info
Fishing	Fishing Day Trip	Fishing & Scenic	Steelhead	Spring/Fall	Aggipah	Our most exciting fishing is for steelhead. These 5- 15 pound fish have a life history similar to salmon, coming into the Salmon River from the Pacific in early fall. They over-winter and spawn in early spring. Some of these fish are “wild” fish, which must be released, but many are hatchery-raised, and can be kept.	Visit Outfitter
Fishing	Fishing Multi-Day Trip	Fishing & Scenic	Steelhead	Fall	Aggipah	Late October we have a five-day lodge-to-lodge trip on the River of No Return section of the Salmon River with drift boats that is a memorable experience.	Visit Outfitter
Fishing	Fishing Multi-Day Trip	Fishing & Scenic	Trout & Bass	Late Spring/Summer/Early Fall	Aggipah	On the Middle Fork of the Salmon, through the River of No Return Wilderness Area, fishing time is measured in days. A typical float lasts six days. We can provide a fishing focus and improve fly fishing success by using light, more manueverable, two-passenger McKenzie River drift boats or small inflatable boats. Since fishing boats leave camp as soon as breakfast is finished, instead of waiting for the camp crew to load, and stay out on the river until the camp crew has the camp set up, we also spend more hours on the river each day.

Fishing	Fishing Multi-Day Trip	Fishing & Scenic	Trout	June-September	Idaho River Adventures	The Middle Fork of the Salmon River Idaho Fly fishing is a world-class experience! The cutthroat is surface-oriented, so this is dry fly fishing at its best, using the best flies for the Middle Fork of the Salmon River (Stimulators, Caddis, Hoppers, Parachute Adams, and others) supplied by Idaho River Adventures. Fly fishing the Salmon River from Idaho River Adventures rafts allows easy casts to hard to reach granite walls, mid-stream rocks, and back eddies that would otherwise be un-fishable. The fly fishing gets good in July and only improves as the season continues, with some amazing fishing in the late summer and fall. Our riverside chefs will dazzle you with gourmet, made-from-scratch meals prepared over an open fire and in Dutch ovens each night. There is no better place to experience a world-class Salmon River Idaho fly fishing experience than the Middle Fork and no better outfitter than Idaho River Adventures. Our Salmon River fly fishing trips include all the flies you’ll need, as well as camp gear, from sleeping bags, deluxe sleeping pads, and tents to tables and chairs.	Visit Outfitter
Fishing	Fishing Multi-Day Trip	Fishing & Scenic	Trout	June-September	Idaho River Journeys	The Middle Fork of the Salmon is a celebrated “blue ribbon” trout stream that is home to a hearty population of Westslope Cutthroat Trout. Fly-fishing the Middle Fork of the Salmon River is excellent throughout the season. Conditions are best once high water has subsided. Below you can read about our September fly fishing trips. For questions about gear, flies, and other useful information visit our Middle Fork Salmon River Fly Fishing Guide.	Visit Outfitter
Fishing	Fishing Day Trip	Fishing & Scenic	Trout	May-November	Kookaburra	Our experienced guides know the best places to catch the great fish on the Upper Salmon River, and also have all the equipment and skill to make your fishing trip comfortable. Price includes transportation, equipment, and lunch.	Visit Outfitter

With our expert guide at the oars you will be guided to the best spots in a precision drift boat with a maximum of 2 fishermen aboard.	Visit Outfitter

Fishing	Fishing Multi-Day Trip	Fishing & Scenic	Trout	July-October	Middle Fork Wilderness Outfitters	From Mid July thru Mid October, the Middle Fork of the Salmon hosts some the worlds best dry fly fishing for native Cutthroat Trout. When the conditions are good, which they generally are, an experienced angler can easily land over 100 fish a day averaging 12 to 15 inches. And for beginners, there is truly no better place to learn how to fly fish than the Middle Fork, as the fishing pressure is almost non existent and the trout are very willing and eager to take a fly.	Visit Outfitter
Fishing	Upper Main Salmon River	Fishing & Scenic	Steelhead	Contact for dates	Northwest River Expeditions Inc	Take a trip along the border of the Frank Church Wilderness… this is Steelhead fishing at its best. Enjoy your day on the pristine waters of the wild and scenic Salmon River (near Salmon, Idaho). We run one or two fishermen per dory because we like that wilderness vacation experience. Hotshots, drive fish or fly rod. Spey rods and instruction available. Mulit day trips are available upon request.	Visit Outfitter
Fishing	Upper Salmon River	Fishing & Scenic	Steelhead	March-Mid April and October-November	Rawhide Outfitters	The spring season for steelhead is typically the month of March and first two weeks of April. Our weather and snow conditions are a huge factor in our spring run. Spring offers an exciting steelhead run. Large steelhead arrive here on the upper Salmon River, usually between Salmon and Challis areas, finishing their spawn run. The fall run is prime time for steelhead, water clarity and temperatures provide excellent opportunity for success. The fish are arriving fresh and moving slow as it is too early to spawn. As they wait for their eggs to mature they spend a lot of time resting in lay water. This is when the migrating fish are at their best and most susceptible to bite and fight the hardest!	Visit Outfitter
Fishing	Upper Salmon River	Fishing & Scenic	Trout	June-August	Rawhide Outfitters	For our summer trout fishing trips which are also conducted on the Salmon River rainbow and cutthroat trout are the type of fish caught. The best time to fish for trout is after high water in early summer and then into fall after the water temperatures have cooled back down after the summer’s heat. Techniques for fishing consist of fly-fishing or spin casting. . The uniqueness of fishing the Salmon River is the scenery and excitement of a free flowing natural river, with its variation of birds and wildlife.	Visit Outfitter
Fishing	Upper Salmon River	Fishing & Scenic	Salmon	Mid June-July	Rawhide Outfitters	We offer Chinook salmon fishing trips and seasons are determined by fish counts. When numbers are healthy the season is usually set to start the end of June, but typically it doesn’t get underway until the first part of July. When numbers are low the Fish and Game Department does not open the season. We use similar methods for Salmon fishing as we do with our steelhead fishing, with the exception that the gear is heavier. Due to the warm water temperatures, we like to start very early in the morning, being on the river just before daybreak	Visit Outfitter
Fishing	Main Salmon River	Fishing & Scenic	Trout	Contact for Details and Dates	Salmon River Fly Box	We use Drift Boats and/or rafts depending on river conditions. These boats are set up to accommodate 1 or 2 anglers. The Salmon River has a healthy population of both Rainbow and Westslope Cutthroat Trout. The trout respond favorably to dry flies and that is our preferred technique. We often employ a small nymph, along with the dry fly and will use a nymph setup when conditions call for its use.	Visit Outfitter
Fishing	Main Salmon River	Fishing & Scenic	Steelhead	Contact for Details and Dates	Salmon River Fly Box	The amazing Steelhead are native Rainbow trout, which migrate to the ocean and return as adults to spawn. The fish run from 23” to well over 30”. While never easy to catch, they are a fish you will remember for a lifetime! We fish in the traditional style of swinging flies while wading. Early season we normally utilize floating lines and switch to sink-tips as the water cools. Spey rods are most often our weapon of choice and helping new Spey casters is one of our specialties.	Visit Outfitter
