Idaho Steelhead Fishing Trips of a Lifetime

The Salmon River is Idaho’s premier Steelhead fishing river and is know as “The River of No Return”. It originates in the Sawtooth Mountains in central Idaho and is the longest undammed river in Idaho. The Salmon passes through the Frank Church Wilderness on its journey to the Snake River and we operate within this wild and scenic slice of Idaho. We (Whitewater Expeditions) offer Idaho Steelhead fishing trips on the Salmon River leaving from Spring Bar and Vinegar Creek.
