Yes. The fishing is excellent on the Snake River for smallmouth bass, trout and sturgeon. The Salmon River also features excellent fishing opportunities beginning in July. Opportunities are available to fish from the bank during lunch and in camp. Limited opportunities may also available to fish from oar boats during the day.

You will need to bring your own fishing tackle and obtain a valid fishing license. If you are taking a Snake River trip, we recommend obtaining an Oregon fishing license. If you are taking a Salmon River trip, we recommend obtaining an Idaho fishing license.
