Summer Fly Fishing

During July, August and September, we offer great small stream fly-fishing on several tributaries of the Main Salmon River, offering miles of water to explore right from the lodge. Most fish caught are Rainbows, Bull Trout and Cutthroat trout. Most of the streams are within a short jetboat ride from the lodges. These streams are very productive for those willing to walk and wade, and while the fish are not huge the fish are plentiful and the serenity un-matched.
