Testimonials...

Didn't like what I was seeing by just "Googling" for local guides. That's like trying to find a needle in a haystack. Found this site and had a response within a matter of hours. Booked a fun trip for a great price. Definitely a "recommend" for others!

Types of Idaho Guided Fishing Trips

General Inland

Idaho fishing guides generally operate out of multi-species, river, or bass style boats.  They take 1-3 people out at a time and are found all over the state fishing Idaho’s big rivers, lakes, and reservoirs.  Trout, salmon, sturgeon, and bass are popular targets for Idaho fishing guides.  The Snake River, Bear Lake, and the Salmon River are among the fantastic waters fished by our Idaho fishing guides.

Fly Fishing

Idaho fly fishing guides have countless destinations on rivers, streams, and lakes throughout the state catching rainbow, bull, cutthroat, brook, and brown trout.  Many Idaho guides also fish salmon and warm water species such as smallmouth and largemouth bass.  Popular rivers include the Snake, Kootenai, and Coeur d’Alene rivers.  Idaho fly fishing guides can help teach a beginner to cast a fly rod or help a seasoned fly fisherman locate more fish. Idaho fly fishermen have plenty of water and species to choose from.
