I'm mostly interested in new waters. I'd suggest the North Fork of the
Clearwater (very easy access). I've never fished it but it looks great
and I've heard good things about it. Nearby and upriver, Kelly Creek is
famous, of course. The St. Joe, the Lochsa, and the Selway are also nearby.


Another Idaho river I've never fished, but want to, is the South Fork of
the Snake. I understand that this is primarily a float-trip river.


LOTS of good water in the area from what I've read ranging from easy
access to good hikes. Fly into Missoula, then over the pass for guys
from back East or....... Don't think there are any campgrounds with
electricity. It's an "out of the way" area.

I especially enjoyed all the wildlife in the area when we went there
that Fall with Chas after the Steelheading on the Clearwater flopped.
Beautiful country and fish.

Here's an old pictorial TR:

How tough is the float?
