About Your Trip

Spend a full day with one of Scott's expert guides taking in the incredible mountain scenery around Ketchum, Idaho while chasing record-setting trout! You'll be targeting the usual suspects: Brown Trout, Brook Trout, and Rainbows—but stay on the alert for Redband Trout, an Idaho subspecies of the Rainbow Trout.

Your guide will help you select the perfect flies, aiming to "match the hatch" while drawing on years of experience reading factors ranging from water temperature to wind. Get your casts ready, because your guide will lead you right to their best honey holes and put you on to some top-tier fish.

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.
