The Rivers

Clearwater River: Steelhead fishing trips take place from Lewiston to Orofino. Your typical Steelhead fishing day begins at 7:00 am and ends at 4:00 pm. Salmon fishing usually begins at day break and also ends at 4:00 pm.

Columbia River: Salmon fishing can take place in a variety of places: Bonneville dam, John Day dam, Mc Nary dam, Ringold or Vernita Bridge. Your typical Columbia River king salmon day begins at day break and ends around 4:00 pm. All fishing is done by jet boat.

Snake River: Fishing trips usually depart from Heller Bar in Hells Canyon. From there we can take you up or down the river to hit the hot spots. In addition to excellent fishing the Snake River is a very majestic place. It is home to huge oversize sturgeon, steelhead, salmon, smallmouth bass and rainbow trout. Hells Canyon is also a home to big horn sheep, mule deer and elk which can be seen grazing on the mountains. Snake River jet boat trips are a lifetime memory.

Grande Ronde: We fish for Smallmouth Bass and Trout from Boggan’s Oasis to Heller Bar.  Reel Time offers one day or overnight trips.  The Grande Ronde is a very remote limited access river.  Fishing and scenery are unbelievable.  This is a great trip for fly fishing or spin cast we have a 17 foot willey’s guide model drift boat to guide you to the remote hot spots.

FISHING REPORT JUNE 12, 2009

08 SringerSalmon season on the Clearwater has came to an end with the original hype of a huge run and then the let down of the reduction left the F&G scrabbling to make a workable season.  They reduced the quota from 9000 to 2000 and dropped out limit to 1 adult and 3 jacks per person.  It seemed that all hope was lost and clients were not to eager to book but we did run a good number of people and had great success it was actually a great season my last day of fishing I landed 7 adults and 4 jacks.  Enjoy the pics attached from the last few weeks.

Hold the press it is not over yet in fact the best is yet to come that’s right the Salmon River between Whitebird and Riggins is heating up.  With 4 to 6 times the amount of fish than the Clearwater the salmon river is the meca of spring salmon fishing.  I have a rare opportunity to guide for Killgore adventures in Whitebird Idaho there is so many salmon headed to the rapid river hatchery that the F&G instituted a 2 adult and 4 jack limit.  This place is really where it is at and for the next few weeks I will be there smacking down the Salmon.
