A cold morning lifts off the Snake River valley as the guide tightens waders and checks knots. You step from a gravel bar into clear, fast water — the current nudges your legs, the river’s voice pulling you downstream. The day is measured by casts, eddies, and the sudden lift of a trout against your line.
