Steelhead Sep.15 - March 31
Our Steelhead fishing is based out of Riggins Idaho, and takes place on the Salmon River. A typical trip runs 6-12 miles of river, and lasts 8-9 hours. We provide all the necessary fishing equipment and bait. The drift boats are heated and quite comfy even in winter conditions.
We meet at the River Rock Cafe at 6:00 am to enjoy a hot breakfast, or we can make arrangements to meet you at your motel. The fishing will start shortly after sunrise and end around 4:30pm. The boats will have water and hot coffee, plus ample cooler space so don't forget your favorite spirits or beverage.
The weather can change greatly throughout a day fishing so be prepared. We recommend layers of clothing, rain gear, gloves and a good hat.

Multi Day Adventures July 15 - Sep. 30
The multi-day fishing adventures take place on a 70 mile roadless strech of the Salmon River we call the four gorges area. We can drift a portion of the area in 2-3 days, or the entire reach in 4-5 days.
You will spend your days fishing and exploring the river, and your nights camping and relaxing on beautiful beaches. We provide a very comfortable camp with every possible convenience. Dinner and breakfast will be enjoyed at camp. Lunch will be served on the boat to maximize the time spent fishing.
The summer trips will target small mouth bass and trout. Spin and fly gear will be available. The warm weather and favorable water conditions makes this trip a family favorite.
​
We also offer Whitewater Rafting trips. We offer day trips and exciting multi day trips in the summer.
The fall trip is a sportsman's delight. We can still catch bass and trout, but our main focus is ocean run rainbow trout (Steelhead) and Fall Chinook Salmon. We will also have the opportunity to upland game bird hunt. So bring your dog and shotgun.
These trips will make memories for a lifetime, and become a tradition for generations!
Call for prices, cost varies depending on group size. 208-628-3862.
Bass and trout fishing is as action packed as any fishing on the Salmon River. Trips are ran out of the Riggins Area. This trip offers great fishing and beautiful scenery.
The trip will begin at 9:00am, and fish until around 3:30pm.
We greatly encourage people to take some of their bass catch home for dinner. The trout we recommend releasing to help build numbers for future fishing.
Our boats will be equipped for spin and fly fishing. We will provide cooler space plus water and snacks. You are welcome to bring your favorite spirit or beverage.
All Fishing is done incidentally while we float through this scenic canyon.
