Salmon River Anglers

Salmon River Anglers is a professional guiding operation based in Stanley, Idaho, with deep expertise across the Salmon River, Middle Fork of the Salmon, and their tributaries including Marsh Creek and Bear Valley Creek. The team follows a seasonal approach, targeting resident brown and cutthroat trout in the Upper Salmon's freestone waters from late spring through summer, then shifting focus to the Middle Fork's legendary cutthroat fishery in fall as cooler nights trigger prime hatches. Their guides offer both half-day floats and multi-day wilderness expeditions, combining drift boat, wade, and inflatable kayak fishing techniques to match conditions and angler preference.

Fishing methods and approaches
My guiding year on the Salmon River and its tributaries is dictated by the seasons and the incredible trout that inhabit these waters. We operate throughout the year, but the prime fishing experiences shift with the weather and the fish's behavior. From late spring through summer, the focus is on the Upper Salmon River, especially the headwaters near Stanley, where we target resident trout in beautiful freestone conditions. As summer transitions into fall, the Middle Fork of the Salmon becomes a major draw, particularly for its legendary cutthroat trout fishery, enhanced by cooler nights and prime hatches. My guides and I follow the fish, ensuring we're in the right place at the right time, whether it's a half-day float on the Salmon's headwaters or a multi-day wilderness adventure on the Middle Fork.
