Embark on a thrilling guided fishing trip targeting smallmouth bass in the heart of Hells Canyon, an awe-inspiring gorge carved by the Snake River along the border of Idaho and Oregon. Renowned for its dramatic landscapes and world-class fishing opportunities, Hells Canyon offers anglers an unforgettable experience surrounded by breathtaking scenery, abundant wildlife, and big whitewater.
Hells Canyon’s combination of rugged beauty, remote access, and healthy smallmouth bass populations makes it a premier destination for anglers seeking both challenge and relaxation. During the optimal seasons, anglers can pursue trout, salmon, and steelhead. These species provide exciting challenges and rewarding fishing experiences for both novice and experienced anglers.
The highlight of the adventure is the potential to encounter the legendary sturgeon, a true prehistoric giant. In this catch-and-release fishery, sturgeon exceeding 10 feet in length and weighing several hundred pounds can be landed, offering a truly memorable fishing experience.
Our guided Snake River fishing trips take place in the wild and scenic section of Hells Canyon. The journey begins at Hells Canyon Dam and continues downstream to Pittsburg Landing, allowing anglers to experience the breathtaking natural beauty of the canyon while pursuing trophy fish.
