Drift Boat Bass Fishing
As our water warms throughout the summer the small mouth bass become the sport fish of choice. Bass make up for there size (1 to 4 Lbs.) with their heart, these are fun fish to fight on our light tackle. If your an avid angler or novice this is a great trip to add to your summer vacation. The warm clear water creates ideal conditions for the bass and the angler who is looking to enjoy the beauty of the Salmon River Canyon. Depending on skill level 20 to 40 fish days are normal most days if conditions are decent. The Bass fishing is best during the summer months (June through September). Choose from a full day with 7 to 8 hours of fishing with a deli lunch included or a 1/2 day with drinks and a snack and 5 hours of fishing. You may bring any preferred beverages along just let us know how much cooler space you will need.
For more adventure combine a drift boat trip 1 day with a Jet Boat tour in the wilderness, lodging package or whitewater raft trip another for a complete vacation package.
