On the water

The South Fork: blue-ribbon trout water

The South Fork of the Snake is consistently ranked among the best wild trout fisheries in the lower 48 — thousands of cutthroat, brown, and rainbow trout per mile. Guests cast from the bank steps off the deck, wade the riffles out back, or book a drift-boat day with local guides.
