FISH IDAHO

With the establishment of the Idaho territory came the first fishing and drift boat outfitters. Since then, fishing outfitting has taken every form, from deep water boating with heavy gear to alpine walk-and-wade fly fishing. Idaho has it all. The wealth of species in Idaho is unmatched. From ancient sturgeon dwelling on the river bottoms, to blue ribbon resident trout fishing, to ocean running salmon and steelhead, the options are endless.

Whether you want a slow paced day teaching you family how to fish, or a fast paced technical day of targeting difficult species, Idaho has it all. Anywhere you go in Idaho, you’re sure to find an outfitter who has fished these fisheries their whole lives, and can tell you everything about these lakes, rivers and streams. Idaho enjoys so many streams and public lands, it’s easy to find yourself on rivers far from any other soul. Some of the greatest minds in history have placed themselves here to step aside and reflect. And we still enjoy the same wild and untouched wilderness they found.
