Experience fly-fishing for trout in central Idaho with Idaho Angling Services, LLC. David Glasscock, with 45 years of guiding experience, leads trips on Silver Creek and other storied rivers.

At a Glance
David Glasscock has been guiding fly anglers on the spring creeks and rivers of south-central Idaho since 1981, building a legendary reputation for technical dry-fly instruction and deep seasonal knowledge. He operates across Silver Creek, the Big Wood, Little Wood, and Big Lost Rivers, and Mackay Reservoir, with mastery of the region's prolific hatches—Golden Stones in early summer, Tricos and Mahogany Duns through August and September, and Blue-Winged Olives into fall. His approach balances instruction with pure fishing opportunity, and he guides year-round, including winter midge hatches for anglers seeking solitude. Glasscock also guides internationally, running trips to New Zealand's South Island spring creeks during the off-season.

Species & Seasons
Methods
My guiding year in south-central Idaho is dictated by the rhythm of the seasons and the incredible hatches that grace our waters. Spring begins with the Big Wood River clearing from runoff, typically by late June, opening up opportunities for dry-fly fishing with Golden Stones and Western Green Drakes. As summer progresses into August and September, the Trico and Mahogany Dun hatches become prime targets on the Big Wood and Silver Creek, with hopper-dropper rigs also effective in the afternoons. Fall is a spectacular time, especially on Silver Creek, where Blue-Winged Olives and late Tricos provide excellent dry-fly action through October. The Big Lost River and Mackay Reservoir offer year-round fishing, with winter midge hatches providing unique opportunities for those seeking solitude on the water.
