Find Your Trip/Outfitter

Long Drift outfitters guides on the Kootenai river that flows through a beautiful canyon with virtually no access, except by boat. The seclusion and isolation of the river adds to its Idaho ruggedness and beauty. The Kootenai River provides room to fish with most days leaving you the river to yourself. Come see what has been hiding in North Idaho and book your next trip with Long Drift Outfitters. The Kootenai River is a hidden gem for fishermen in North Idaho and is a classic dry fly fishery. This classic large river holds many species of fish and is best fished from a drift boat. Species include Redband Trout, Cutthroat Trout, Bull Trout, Mountain Whitefish, and Burbot.

Known as the Crown Jewel of Idaho, Priest Lake is surrounded by the Selkirk Mountain Range and is over 23,000 acres in size. The water runs cold and deep making it a perfect environment for the Mighty Mackinaw. The scenery is nothing short of spectacular with fir-blanketed mountains that extend as far as the eye can see. It is truly a pristine wilderness!
