The easiest way to get your trip down the Salmon River started is to contact a professional river outfitter that has the experience, knowledge, equipment, and personnel to help you make it happen. I recommend Matt Laine at Wild Water Adventures in Riggins, Idaho. Matt himself is one of the most experienced river guides in the area, and runs a first-class operation.
His guides are trained and licensed professionals that make your safety their top priority, After safety, their next goal is to ensure that you have the most fun that you can have on the Salmon River. From mild to wild, Matt's guides provide custom trips that provide their guests with the exact experience that they wish to have.
Besides white water paddle trips down the main Salmon and lower gorge, Wild Water can also help you catch salmon, steelhead, and bass in world-class fishing areas, right here on the Salmon River. Afterall, they named it the Salmon River for a reason. There are plenty of fish here, and Matt's guides know just where to take you. Drift boats, and big hauls are the name of this game.
