Guided Trips

 

Come join Idaho Angler for a day of guided fishing on some of the best water in Southwest Idaho and Eastern Oregon. Our goal is to give you an awesome and unforgettable day fly fishing, whether you are new to the sport or experienced and well-traveled. We help people enjoy fly fishing, creating memories and stories for years to come!

 

EXPERIENCED GUIDES

All Idaho Angler guides are Federation of Fly Fishers certified Casting Instructors and have many years of experience fishing and guiding on our home waters. We’ll share with you the secrets and techniques we have learned over our many years of fishing. You’ll leave the day with new skills to use on your future fishing adventures.

 

ALL-INCLUSIVE TRIPS

Idaho Angler’s guided trips are all-inclusive. We provide everything you will need to have an enjoyable and successful day on the water, including waders, boots, rods, reels, tippet and flies. Trips include both walk-and-wade or float trips, depending upon location and time of year. Lunch and non-alcoholic beverages are provided on all full-day trips. We are insured, licensed, and CPR and First-Aid certified.

 

TRIP PREPAREDNESS

The summer months in Boise can be quite warm, but being in the high desert, we can see thunderstorms and inclement weather year-round. The fall, winter, and spring can be cold and unpredictable, so appropriate clothing for layering is even more important during this time of year. In order to assist you with being more prepared for your day of fishing, here is a list of things you should consider having with you:

  • Hat
  • Polarized sunglasses
  • Sunscreen
  • Insect repellent
  • Rain gear
  • Good socks (wool or Capilene, etc.)
  • Warm clothing for layering and wearing under waders (i.e. long johns, fleece pants, etc.) ***Jeans are usually not very comfortable under waders, nor do they wick moisture well.
  • Extra clothes (in case the weather changes or the need arises)

 

 

FEES AND LICENSING

The Idaho Angler requires a $100.00 deposit, per day, at the time you book your trip. In addition to the guide fee, the only other expense is a current license and any guide gratuities that you may deem appropriate. The rest is up to us! *** Please be advised that cancellations made with less than 24 hours notice will forfeit the deposit (extenuating circumstances may be taken into consideration).

TESTIMONIALS

  • “Been to many fly shops and this is hands down my favorite. They treat you with respect no matter your skill level or knowledge. They are willing to not only give you recommendations on flies but take the time and explain the science behind it and when you can expect to see them. I started fly fishing a couple years ago, and have continued to grow thanks to Idaho Angler.”

    - CURTIS COPPLE

  • “I recently went on a guided trip through Idaho Angler. Chris took the time to teach me about fly fishing while putting me on some big brown trout on dry flies. One of the best fishing experiences of my life.”

    - ROCKY BAKER

  • “My daughter and I went on a half day excursion on the Boise River yesterday. Neither of us had fly fished before. Idaho Angler was great in setting us up with everything we needed and taught us the basics. Fortunately, we caught on fast, had a great time and caught a bunch of fish. Tim did a great job. We had a wonderful afternoon. Highly recommend.”

    - JAY FISHMAN

  • “We just had a walk wade guide trip on the "O" with Chris Gerono this past week. He did an awesome job on a awesome stream. I'm a guide back in PA and I can honestly say I learned a ton to take back with me. He also worked with my girlfriend Jill and advanced her skill level tremendously as well. Great job, Chris!”

    - KEN MEAD

  • “Just moved from the midwest with a minimal background in fly fishing, the guys there helped me re fix up my rod, explained the best flies to use and when, and were overall extremely helpful. I'll be a returning customer as long as I'm in Boise!”

    - ROGER KLEIN

  • “This business is amazing. All the staff members that we dealt with were very professional and friendly. Erik, our guide was great, took the time to show us how to get started in the sport of fly fishing. I would recommend Idaho Angler to anyone in the Boise area. Thank you to all the staff!”
