"Cast and Blast" Steelhead fishing in riggins idaho on the Salmon River

Cast & Blast Chukar hunting and Steelhead or Bass fishing combination trips are a great way to achieve the trip every sportsman dreams of "Fins and Feather's". Chukar's are a challenge for even the best bird hunters but with an experienced guide and drift boats to make you and your dog comfortable we can listen for birds while reeling in a steelhead. Hunting from the boat is a great way to keep the hiking down to a moderate level.

Hells Canyon 4 day "Cast and Blast"

Love to Fish?  Love to Bird Hunt?  Come to Hells Canyon for the ultimate sportsman's adventure. The wild Chukar (Himalayan Partridge) in there preferred environment are a rewarding challenge for the most avid bird hunter. As we float the Snake River in the bottom of this spectacular canyon, casting to Rainbow Trout and Small Mouth Bass we will be listening for the cackle of the Chukar at river's edge. Finish releasing your Rainbow, grab your shotgun as the guide maneuvers you into position, you can imagine the rest. At the camp that was set up earlier that day we will set the Sturgeon rod for the 8' to 10' monsters. After feasting on that nights meal you can either relax in the beauty of the canyon or pick up your fishing rod for the evening hatch on the Snake or one of it's many tributaries. One of the great rivers flowing into the Snake along the way is the Imnaha where we can venture up with our fly rods for Steelhead just in from the Pacific. If you are getting bored with all the fish, take the dog on a hunt for a few Chukar.

This adventure into Hells Canyon has endless possibilities for the outdoor enthusiast. This trip can be catered to each individual's passions whether you want to Fly Fish, Chukar Hunt, Catch a big Sturgeon, Steelhead fishing, or just spot for wildlife and relax. Don't forget you are on one of the best whitewater river's, your guide might have a few thrills in store. When we are finally thru with the last days fishing and hunting we will rendezvous with the jet boat for the 30 mile ride back to Pittsburgh Landing. A shuttle will be waiting to take you back to Riggins in time for dinner at the Seven Devils Steakhouse.

Hi Brenda, just wanted to drop you a note to thank you and Jess for a wonderful day of fishing. Jess is as good as they get and put us on a lot of fish.  We would have had fun if we didn't catch a bunch, but what a bonus!

 

 Thanks again and we hope to be back soon!
