Fishing...
Rawhide Outfitters offers a variety of
fishing choices for our guests. We fish for steelhead, rainbow
trout and cutthroat trout. We cater to the novice as well as the
experienced fishermen, always willing to share our expertise with
you. We are licensed on the S-3,4 and 5 sections of the Salmon
River, over 130 miles in all, starting at the town of Challis and
ending "down river" at Corn Creek.
Fall & Spring
Steelhead
Our guides have many years experience to ensure the highest possible success rate using a wide variety of both traditional and modern methods. This past fall 2008 steelhead run was one of the largest on record. The hatchery steelhead returns have been very successful with a strong native run as well. We use dory-type drift boats equipped with heaters. All methods of fishing are used, but primarily we like back trolling plugs or bait and fly fishing, depending upon the preference and skill level of our fishing clients. A fisherman sized lunch is prepared homemade, hot and very tasty. Steelhead fishing on the Salmon river is truly and unforgettable experience!

Summer
Trout Fly Fishing & Spin Casting
In July & August we specialize in drift and wade fly fishing,
dry or wet fly-fishing and/or spin casting depending on personal
preference. Experienced or novice, our guides can explain any
technique or strategy needed to catch a fish. We drift through a
very beautiful section of the Salmon River, stopping to wade
occasional good runs. We encourage catch & release normally
averaging 20 to 40 fish days, ranging from 12 to 18 inch rainbow
and cutthroat trout. Many of our clients are surprised and comment
on the low amount of fishermen we see for the quality of fishing
and beauty of the river. 1day fishing trip includes a fisherman
size lunch that you can pick from a variety of choices.
