We just got back from 6 days on the South Fork Snake River in Idaho. Four of us went and used 2 boats. Fished for 6 days. Mostly fished the canyon section.
We had all kinds of weather during our trip. We had rain, hail, thunder & lightning, beautiful blue sunny skies and oh yea WIND!
The fishing was much better on the rainy/ over cast days but man you sure have to love wading in shorts and hooking fish in the riffles.
We camped in the canyon for 3 nights, spent 2 nights in a hotel, set up 3 shuttles, paid for fuel, etc., all for $250 each.
Tragically there was a death on the river while we were there. A guide flipped his boat while fishing 2 clients. The clients made it out while sadly the guide did not. Our prayers go out to his family.http://i585.photobucket.com/albums/ss296/fish4clg/Idaho%202010/P8290008.jpg, saw great wildlife,
