PRISTINE WATERS, WILD TROUT, UNFORGETTABLE ADVENTURE

Fly Fishing the Middle Fork

World-Class Dry Fly Fishing in Idaho’s Wilderness

Experience some of the finest blue-ribbon fly fishing on the legendary Middle Fork of the Salmon River. From mid-July through mid-October, this pristine, free-flowing river offers exceptional dry fly fishing for native Westslope Cutthroat Trout. With minimal fishing pressure and crystal-clear waters, anglers of all skill levels can enjoy an unparalleled experience.

A Fisherman’s Paradise

On a prime day, experienced anglers can land over 100 trout, averaging 12 to 15 inches. For beginners, there’s no better place to learn—the Middle Fork’s willing and eager trout, combined with expert instruction from our seasoned fishing guides, make it an ideal setting to develop fly fishing skills.

Fishing-Specific Trips

For the ultimate fly fishing adventure, join one of our fishing-focused trips in August. These trips are designed for small groups of 16 to 18 people, ensuring an intimate and focused experience. Private charter trips are available for groups of 14 or more.
