Idaho Steelhead Fishing Report by Sam Cefaratti

Angler: Sam Cefaratti
Trip Taken: Idaho Steelhead Fishing on the Salmon River
Date: October, 2018
Fishing Consultant: Patrick Kissel with Outdoors International

Awesome fishing guides that went above and beyond to make sure we caught fish and had a good time. Incredible Salmon River access. I would recommend this trip to anyone that loves to swing flies for steelhead in amazing water.

Patrick is very respectable and knows his business well. Very easy to work with and puts the interest of his clients ahead of himself. Would definitely use him again, in fact I like the sound of the Alaska steelhead trip.

INCREDIBLE FISHING
I plopped my mouse on the water and gave it a twitch, he turned around, and was so slow to slurp it I thought he was going to refuse. I fought him hard from the weeds and quickly tailed 25” of spring creek brown! As if it wasn’t already my trip to Patagonia is complete! I am fully content.Patagonia-Chile Fly Fishing Luxury Camp

In addition to award-winning fishing, the likes that include Salmon and Rainbow Trout, the Alaska Sportsman Lodge experience includes other exciting and sensory stimulating activities you can take part in, such as river float trips, sightseeing, and bear viewing adventures.This river is the only connection between Lake Iliamna and Bristol Bay. The significance of this is that all of the millions of Alaskan salmon that return each year to the Lake Iliamna drainage must pass in front of our lodge.

Second time I’ve done this particular trip. The steelhead run was awesome! The food was even better than the first time, which is hard to imagine, and our guide is the best there is! If catching big fish is your thing I highly recommend booking through Outdoors International.

I expected big trout on this trip based on all the stories I've read over the years, and I was not disappointed! I broke my own personal best rainbow trout record at least SIX times on this trip, with the biggest being a 16 pound beauty.

I will be going again soon!
