About Your Trip

Get out on the Wood River with one of Scott's expert guides for hours of amazing natural scenery and hungry fish! You'll be stalking big Rainbows, Browns, and Brookies from the bank while testing the precision of your cast in fast-moving water.

Get prepared for aggressive bites from deep holes—your guide knows all the best spots and will help you refine your technique. They'll also ensure that you're in the best position to catch fish by adjusting your flies and rigging based on the current hatch, the season, the weather, and years of past experience.

All of Scott's guided trips include transport and flies. Rod, reel, boot, and wader rentals are separate. Clients must hold a current Idaho fishing/hunting license. He and his guides pride themselves in providing you with a homemade streamside lunch at an additional fee of 15$. Please be sure to communicate any food allergies or dislikes you might have so that we can be sure to make your lunch as enjoyable as the rest of your trip. Please also be sure to communicate with your guide if you have any other medical conditions, such as bee allergies, and if you carry an epi pen. To maximize your experience on the water, come prepared with the right clothing, polarized sunglasses, sunscreen, and a hat. Get ready to hook 'em!

About Your Guide

Scott S.

Outfitter

Scott runs a friendly Mom and Pop fly shop and outfitter located in the world-famous resort area of Sun Valley, right on Ketchum’s Main Street.

Scott realized his dream to become an outfitter in 1984 and was joined by his partner in life, Susanne, in 1998.

Every member of his outfit is passionate about fly fishing in all of its forms and their enthusiasm for the sport becomes immediately evident when you walk through our doors.

It does not matter if you need advice on fly choices, to learn a new knot, are seeking some fly-tying or casting advice, or, if you need help with equipment, no task is too large or small. Scott and his guides are here to help you!

They pride themselves on being friendly and helpful, and a lot of their clients come to the shop just to shoot the breeze.

Each trip's price is determined by the guide and reflects all associated costs. A significant factor in pricing is often the type of boat and the corresponding fuel expenses.

After booking your trip, we'll connect you directly with your guide to discuss additional details. In the meantime, our team is here to answer any questions via email, text, or phone.
