"South Fork Hilton" | Overnight Fly Fishing on the Snake River

Our #1 requested trip! The two-day 26-mile float is a chance to experience dry fly-fishing at its finest.

The South Fork Overnight Fly Fishing Adventure takes anglers to one of the premier dry fly rivers in the country and treats them to two days of exceptional fly fishing. Our camp, fondly named the “South Fork Hilton” by many of our patron anglers, sits nestled against the pine-covered cliffs thirteen miles into the South Fork canyon. Inaccessibility by road helps ensure a quiet, personal experience rarely found in North America.

The first day is spent working flies over native and wild trout, either from the drift boat or wading. As the day progresses, your guide will row you into the heart of the West’s most coveted secret. When other anglers are back sharing stories around the dinner table, a warm comfortable fire and a mouth-watering meal are being prepared for you by the camp chef. Premium wine and beer and hors d’oeuvres will be waiting while you get acquainted with your own custom log framed wall tent complete with wood deck floor, fresh linens, sleeping bags, cots, and wash towels.

The morning starts with coffee and juice as the chef prepares a wonderful breakfast. All the while you are just a few yards from the river's edge. With the belly full and the gear back in order from all of the previous day's fishing, simply step into the boat and you are casting for trout again. The second day is a long 16 miles of braided water, deep within the canyon, giving anglers the opportunity to see all aspects of fly fishing. Floating your hopper pattern along the overhanging brush, sight casting to schools of rising trout on the gravel bars, or wading up some of the tiny side channels to catch big elusive browns are just a few examples of the diversity this river has to offer.

Boat

We primarily fish out of 3 person (2 anglers and 1 guide) row boat style drift boats. The boat fishes best with 1 or 2 anglers. We suggest only adding a third person when it is a child as three adults push the weight limits of the boat and do not provide adequate fishing to all people present. The boats all have good amounts of dry storage for your valuables and rain gear during the trip. They are very stable fishing platforms and with the built-in leg-locks, there is little chance of falling into the river.

*Base price is for 2 anglers (we fish 2 anglers to a boat).

For a third angler, select additional option at checkout.
