IDAHO FISHING - CLEARWATER RIVER
Steelhead, Salmon and Trout fishing with our experienced guides
Clearwater River provides world class steelhead fishing.
Two photos of Idaho B-run steelhead from the Clearwater River - These large, strong fish attract anglers from throughout the country.
We promote the fall and winter portion of the steelhead season as the fish are excellent table fare and are extremely strong and full of fight.
The late season (spring fishery) can be disappointing for experienced anglers as the fish have lost much of their strength and fighting ability due to the prolonged period of time they have been in the river systems.
Trophy Steelhead from the Clearwater River
Idaho's Clearwater River is famous for the large "B-Run" Steelhead that return to the spawning areas after two years in the ocean. Many of these great fighters will weigh 20 lbs. or more
The Clearwater River in Central Idaho is one of the top steelhead streams in the Northwest. This fishery is supported by the worlds largest Steelhead/Salmon Hatchery, located at the confluence of the North Fork and the mainstem of the Clearwater near Orofino.
The Clearwater is suited to all styles of fishing - drifting, backtrolling, spin fishing or fly fishing - from shore or from the boat.
Our service normally begin "catch and release" Steelhead fishing as early as July. The lower Clearwater opens to "catch and keep" fishing in August with the main section opening in October. These early fish tend to be smaller (in the 5 to 10 lb. range) with the larger fish entering the river in late October and November.
In addition to the fantastic fall and winter steelheading, the Clearwater supports a wonderful Spring and Summer Rainbow Trout fishery. As with steelheading, most any style of fishing is practical on this great little river.
In the past few years Spring Chinook Salmon have also made for an exciting spring fishing option.
