Salmon River + Panther Creek, near Shoup, ID

[SF_Austin]

I've been up that way a few times. Fished panther creek before and caught a few (brookies and rainbows or cutts, I cant remember), nothin special though, but the water was really high when I was there. I dont know if you can get a vehicle up there right now, especially up through the mountains and down to shoup, even if you can the stream may be frozen. In my opinion, if you're anywhere near the salmon river right now (and for the next 4 months) and want to do some fishing, go steelheading and save the fun creek fishing for summer. As for the salmon river, I wouldn't know, the only time I'm on that river is for steelhead and salmon, but my friend did catch a 3 pound rainbow (not a steelhead!) when we were steelhead fishing last year []
