Steelhead Fishing - Clearwater River Near Orofino
Date: October 10 - 13, 2024
If you're a steelhead fishing veteran or newbie, the Clearwater River provides some terrific fall fishing. Bob Harder is planning an outing for this iconic Idaho gamefish and will be our host at the Pink House Hole campground which provides RV spaces and room for tent camping. Orofino is nearby and might have lodging. Expect crowds so plan your accommodations soon!
Anticipate fall weather in Idaho that can range from sunny and 80F to blizzards and below freezing temps (just wait 15 minutes and it will change). Bring clothing to meet the weather demands.
Bob is working to get a Clearwater River area guide service involved to show us how to fish for steelhead from a boat or by wading. The river can be floated from a drift boat or raft or there are plenty of wadable sections to fish.
He is also working with a local fly casting instructor to provide two-handed fly rod casting lessons. Look for this opportunity to be posted as an event in August/September once details are firmed up.
The drive from Boise is about 5 hours. In addition to an Idaho fishing license, you will need a steelhead permit.
Contact Bob at (208) 585-1433 or bharder@msn.com with any questions or for more information.
