Combination Rafting, Fly-fishing and Chukar hunting
Fall Trips
Our Cast
and Blast adventure trips combine cutthroat trout
fishing and chukar partridge hunting along the river
canyon of the Middle Fork of the Salmon River in
early fall. The Middle Fork is renown for its
westslope cutthroat fishery. And the chukar is an
exciting game bird, which requires skill and
determination to hunt. We hunt the open slopes,
rocky hillsides and valley floor of the canyon.
