Jet Boat Fishing Charter

Snake River | Sturgeon, Trout and Bass

Experience the Hells Canyon Wilderness the deepest in North America.

MRO provides private, custom fishing adventures that are exclusive to your group. The Snake River offers an outstanding fishery for small mouth bass, trout and sturgeon in one of the most unique destinations in the northwest. You can expect to catch buckets of bass and multiple sturgeon in a day during prime months. White sturgeon are the largest freshwater fish in North America, weighing up to 400 pounds and measuring up to 12 feet in length, these prehistoric monsters may live for 100’s of years. Because Hells Canyon offers a catch and release fishery, there is an abundance of oversized sturgeon.

Hells Canyon is a very scenic and historic canyon to explore. There are many things to see and do that will complement your day of fishing if you choose. We guarantee you will have a blast, and your day on the river will be a memorable experience. Everyone will enjoy the warm water, great fishing and spectacular scenery in the deepest canyon in North America.

We fish some of the most spectacular wilderness in the country. Mountain River Outfitters is permitted for more river miles in Idaho than any other fishing outfitter. If the conditions are not great on one section we can get you to the fish on another. We operate both jet boats, rafts and drift boats to make sure you get the best experience possible and to allow us to get places no one else goes.

Hells Canyon is awesome in every way, the best year around fishing in Idaho. The Snake River offers consistent water temperatures to give it the highesty fish per mile river section anywhere. Choose from warm water Bass, prehistoric Sturgeon or ocean run King Salmon. We use Rafts and Jet Boats to get you through the challenging whitewater on 1 to 6 day adventures.

The River of No Return is the largest un damed rivers in the lower 48 and has hundreds of miles of natural spawning of wild Steelhead. The Salmon River has breathtaking scenery and is teeming with wildlife as most of it flows through Idaho’s Wilderness. The Salmon River boasts some of the best wild and hatchery runs of Steelhead in the nation along with great Trout, Bass and Salmon.

The drift boats at MRO are clean, comfortable and are equiped with heaters for fall and winter fishing. Our jet boats are well maintained and are designed specifically for the Idaho rivers we run and the fish we catch. Our fly fishing rafts are perfect for those multi day summer fishing adventures.

You will not be disappointed with the rods and reels and all the terminal tackle we provide. We take clients with all experience levels although some equipment may fail if not used correctly. Our guides work tirelessly on keeping our quality fishing tackle in good working condition and replace it regularly.

No matter if your on a 1 day trip or a 3 day 2 night in Hells Canyon or enjoying the good life at one of the Lodges.  Our menu is a combination of the highest quality ingredients prepared as if at a high end restaurant.
