Summer Fishing and Pack Trips

Join us for a summer wilderness adventure in the Salmon River Mountains that you will never forget. At the B-C guest ranch or one of our wilderness camps we offer some of the best guides and cooks to insure that your trip is a memorable adventure. You will enjoy Dutch oven cooking and barbecues at the end of a hard day of napping, exploring, and fishing. With five different high country lakes and more than twenty miles of pristine trout streams, we can get you to some of the best fishing in the country. We offer fly-fishing trips on the Middle Fork of the Salmon River including multiple tributaries namely, Camas Creek, pack trips to wilderness mountain lakes. Any fishing done is incidental and you are to provide your own gear. With the various packages to choose from you’ll be sure to find one tailored just for you.

The B-bar-C ranch sits at the mouth of Ram´s Creek on Silver Creek, which has great fishing for cutthroat and rainbows. There is a private lake on the ranch property. The lake is full of pan size fish for those wanting to enjoy a fish dinner, and for the beginning anglers to enjoy.

Our high mountain lake trips are one for the books. There is nothing like riding to the top of a divide and gazing across more mountains than you could cover in a week, then, descending to a pristine mountain lake for a few days of peace, solitude, and fantastic views. Due to the remoteness of these lakes, they are filled with large numbers of fish and see very few anglers throughout the year. As a result, they are teeming with cutthroat, book trout, and grayling. The bag limits for these lakes are two cutthroat and two grayling per day, and ten brook trout per day. These fish seldom see a fly so filling your bag limit is an easy task. These lakes are pack-in trips using horses and mules. You will be staying in tents and enjoying Dutch oven meals. This is a wilderness adventure at its best.

Fishing the Middle Fork of the Salmon River is another great adventure. It is one of the longest free flowing rivers left in the country. We fish this great river while staying at the rustic Tappan Cabin located at the mouth of grouse Creek. The cabin dates back to the early 1900´s and is featured in the book, The Middle Fork River Guide; by Cort Connly. The Tappan Cabin will sleep five with wall tents available for more guests. To reach the cabin we ride down rugged Camas Creek and up the Middle Fork to the old Tappan homestead.
