recommended outfitter for newbie/one timer in Idaho

Hello all,

Anyone out there have a recommendation for someone who has never fly
fished before and who may never try again but would like to go to
Idaho for said adventure.

I'll try to find out more details regarding what this person likes or
dislikes or is expecting.

Thanks.

My recommendation is whoever is responsible or going along should lend
him/her one of their own rods.

I'm more confused about the circumstances. Is this someone just going
off on their own to try fly fishing in Idaho? If so, I'd recommend
hiring a guide/instructor & using one of their rods. It's also
relevant, IMHO where/how the newbie will be flyfishing should the bug
bite. Makes no sense to buy a rod suited to Idaho if the local
streams are markedly different.

I really like the fly fishing for dummies book.

or complete idiots guide.
Not that i am suggesting you are either, these are just resourcs that
helped me quite a bit when I was picking up the sport.

I was ambiguous in my request. I am looking for specific
recommendations on guides/outfitters/lodges in Idaho that would be
suitable for a newbie.

Haven't been on ROFF for a long time but good to see rb608 still
hanging around. I thought you bid farewell a while ago? I've been
tied up with change of career and fatherhood for the last two years
and the fact that Univ of Michigan who was the host for my former ROFF
account decided to shut down its NNTP servers areound the same time
that the baby arrived.

Oh well. Hope some of you are fishing out there. Maybe I'll get a
chance at the end of the year to hit the Upper Sacramento or Baum Lake
if Santa says yes.

And I was reading impaired when I wrote my response. For some reason,
I saw "outfit" and not "outfitter".


I thought you bid farewell a while ago?

Nah, I didn't bid farewell, I just faded away for a while.
