Silver Cloud Expeditions

Silver Cloud Expeditions offers Idaho steelhead fishing trips from 1 to 6 days. The Salmon River offers a unique combination of federally protected wilderness, a clean free-flowing river and numerous fishing opportunities.

During spring and fall our quarry are steelhead - trophy ocean-run rainbow trout. Steelhead return to the Salmon River in the fall, robust and heavy from 1 to 2 years of feeding in the Pacific. They range from 4-20 pounds, averaging 7. After the fall season ends in December, Salmon River steelhead winter over, providing a spring season in March and April. Our 1-day, 3-day and 5-day steelhead fishing trips are described below.

We also offer trout fly fishing trips. The Salmon River system holds excellent populations of west slope cutthroat trout, which readily take dry and wet flies. We offer a 6-day trout fly-fishing trip August 31st each year, or you can charter a custom date of your choice.
