MIDDLE FORK OF THE SALMON RIVER
Summer Fishing & Rafting Trips: Central Idaho - June through August (6 days)
The magic of the Middle Fork has no equal. The excitement of the whitewater, the breathtaking scenery, beautiful campsites, hot springs, hiking, abundant wildlife and fabulous fishing make this river trip unique. The crystal clear Middle Fork flows one hundred miles through the stunning “River of No Return” wilderness. Thrilling whitewater alternates with placid emerald green pools as you descend nearly 3,000 feet through forests of fir, spruce and ponderosa pine, ultimately entering Impassable Canyon with walls towering 1,000 feet overhead.
The geology and history of this special place are as unique as its beauty. Pre-batholithic rock dating over 100 million years and human artifacts dating over 8,000 years have been found along its banks. Our guides provide commentary to give you an appreciation of the river’s complex past, pointing out Native American pictographs decorating canyon walls and significant settings where events changed history.
Designated a wild and scenic river in 1968 and a catch and release stream in 1973, the translucent waters of the Middle Fork are teeming with willing cutthroat and rainbow trout. With a trout population of over 2500 fish per mile, the river is a fly-fishing paradise. Fishing from maneuverable driftboats allows easy access to many fishing areas. Our guides are excellent boatmen and skilled fishermen who will enhance your fishing experience with expert instruction.
Most of our trips combine rafting and fishing with guests rotating between rafts and driftboats. This option allows everyone to fish fifty percent of the float time. Our rafts are top quality with custom-designed frames for your choice of a comfortable and relaxing ride or the fun and excitement of paddling. Inflatable kayaks are also available. For serious fishermen, who prefer to fish the entire trip, we offer an exclusive driftboat-only option.
Deluxe riverside camps feature all the amenities: outdoor cooking at its finest, fresh fruits and vegetables, family style dinning, complete camp setup, toilet, hot shower and washing facilities. The deluxe sleeping accommodations include a large tent for each two people, complete with cots and air mattresses. Pontoon boats are used to carry equipment to the next camp leaving our rafts and driftboats uncluttered.
Join us on the magical Middle Fork for the ultimate fly-fishing and whitewater rafting experience. The Middle Fork is truly the trip of a lifetime – unparalleled and unforgettable.
