Guided Salmon River Fly Fishing | Fall Trips
Fall Is For Fly Fishing The Middle Fork of the Salmon in Idaho
September can be one of the most invigorating times to do some Middle Fork Salmon River fishing. As summer closes, the clear waters begin cooling down, the heat subsides, and the river is emptied of floating traffic. And as the temperature cools, the water gets lower and slower – ideal fishing conditions.
Our September fly fishing trips are smaller and more personable than our Summer Idaho fishing trips. As the days start to get shorter and we have the whole Wilderness nearly to ourselves, these trips take on a nostalgic and sportsman/sportswoman’s vibe.
As the water levels change and cool, the wild cutthroats follow their native instincts to start packing on weight for the difficult winter looming ahead. September is their last chance to gorge themselves on large terrestrials and tasty surface hatches before the winter doldrums of midge subsistence sets in.
This is a special time for both guides and guests on the Middle Fork; our Salmon River Fishing Guides are excited to row you through the best Cutthroat fly fishing waters in the West. You will find them to be both knowledgeable leaders and wonderful companions, whether they’re sharing an exotic presentation technique, helping to improve an angler’s casting skills, cooking up one of our favorite dishes, or telling lively stories around the campfire.
Our trips are small and personable so they fill fast.
