Guided River Details
The South Fork of the Snake and it's strong tail waters provide incredible angling opportunities. Fishing along the South Fork of the Snake River's banks, riffles, and channels provides a dream angling environment.

We believe that we can offer virtually any fly fishing experience you might desire. Our local waters provide experiences from highly technical dry fly fishing for large rainbows to streamer fishing for big brown trout.
South Fork Outfitters can provide you a great deal of information on fishing the South Fork of the Snake and other regional waters. South Fork Outfitters provides guided services from Palisades Reservoir down to and through out the upper South Fork and Main Snake River, Blackfoot River and Blackfoot Reservoir.
We want you to be aware that on these waters, like most rivers, there are areas that can be dangerous to both the wade fisherman and the inexperienced boatmen. It is always a good idea to research the water you are planning to fish prior to your trip. Hiring a professional guide to take you down the river is an excellent way to not only learn the best areas to fish, but to also to provide a foundation of knowledge for future trips.
Though devoid of white water, the South Fork is a big and dangerous river with powerful hydraulics, whirlpools, and standing waves even at lower flows. Great caution should be taken when floating the river as it has the tendency to lull one to sleep. Canoes are not recommended when the flows exceed 14,000 c.f.s. and only those with extensive boating experience should attempt a river trip of any kind.
