I am in a car and fishing on foot. I am into flyfishing when there is a hatch on or just using grasshoppers with a dropper nymph. Prefer to sight fish rather than just throw it out there and hope a fish is nearby.
I also carry a spinning rod and enjoy using a rapala for big browns or bows in deep or fast water. Can cover a lot of water that way especially if nothing is rising.
My schedule is as follows. Arrive Salmon, ID mid day, have rest of day and evening to fish.
Get up early to drive to Ketchum. Maybe fish along the way? Get there mid afternoon, sight see a bit( the wife is with me). Late afternnon till dark, fish.
Next day haul out to Island Park. Assume get there late in the day. Fish till dark. Next day fish early leave around noon to Bozeman.
I enjoy any kind of trout. Have enjoyed catching westlope cuts before. Beautiful fish-Also bows give you a great fight.
I have bot a few books on Idaho fishing and so have references. Looking for insight, e.g. where does one fish Henry's Fork? Box car, the ranch or further South where some rivers enter?
e.g. Big wood river is long. Where would be a good wade time for a few hours since I am staying in Hailey but can go anywhere in the area.
Appreciate any help or advice.
