About

A full crash coarse educational day about the basics of Fly-Fishing, all gear provided, great for all ages.

Your Fishing Adventure at a Glance!

Our casting instructors will teach the basics of Fly-Fishing along side the Salmon River in a relaxed friendly environment. After your casting clinic and equipment coarse the guides will drive you a brief distance to the boat ramp where we will have a short safety speech and we will discuss the features of our specialized Fly-Fishing boats with you.

The guides will continue honing your newly learned Fly-Fishing Skills as you float down the Salmon River. The Salmon River holds a variety of species, mostly cutthroat trout, rainbow trout and bull trout all of which you can expect to caught. Enjoy the day, expand your knowledge of fishing with our guides and we will see back at our headquarters.

How it Works!

Fishing rafts can accommodate two anglers. Drift boats are used in optimum fishing conditions; otherwise we use a specially designed fishing raft. Headwater’s Fly-Fishing guides provides you with a knowledgeable, professional guide to ensure a great day of fishing the Salmon River.

We are exactly what our name states “Headwater’s Fly-Fishing Guides” specializing in fishing the headwaters of the Salmon River north of Sun Valley, Idaho. Here vast snowmelt runoff spawns the Salmon River. In these waters you will find Rainbow trout, Bull trout, Salmon, and our main catch, Cutthroat trout. These waters provide for excellent dry-fly fishing. The Salmon River is not a trophy trout stream, but a fish factory producing fish averaging 13-16 inches and heavier trout in the 20 in range.

Our Fly-Fishing schools are typically 4-5 hrs on the water. We request that you arrive for your trip around 10:30 a.m, other start times may be requested. (Trip start times may vary due to fishing and or weather conditions, please call for updated details).

Numbers

Drift boats or fishing rafts can accommodate two angler per boat.

Clothing & Gear

Our fishing trips start in the early in the day so we advice bringing a warm jacket to fend of mountain morning temperatures. We also advise bringing a rain jacket just in case. Please stay away from cotton clothing, cotton gets wet and stays wet and may ultimately effect the enjoyment of your trip. Wet wadding is advice (no waders needed) sneakers, shorts, hats, sunglasses, sunscreen and a long sleeve t-shirt are recommend for warm summer days. All fishing gear is provided but we do suggest bring your favorite rod along with you. Dry bags are also on board the boats to stow any gear you may want to bring along.

Weather

We'll fish as long as there isn't hazardous lightning, but ultimately it’s up to you. If you are not comfortable with what Mother Nature is offering and would like to reschedule or cancel, (even the morning of the trip) we have a 100 % money back policy, no questions asked.
