Cutthroat Adventure on the Middle Fork Salmon River with Guy Robins
Episode 95 of the Destination Angler Podcast – July 13, 2023. The Middle Fork of the Salmon River with veteran fly fishing and adventure guide Guy Robins
Our destination is the Middle Fork of the Salmon River with veteran fly fishing and adventure guide Guy Robins, Silver Creek Outfitters, Ketchum, Idaho. Considered one of the most rugged and isolated adventure trips in the lower 48, the Middle Fork is famous for a 6-day, 100-mile float through the massive Frank Church Wilderness area. Here you will find some of the most stunning scenery in the West; beautiful canyons, emerald-green pools, great whitewater, and hungry native Westslope Cutthroat trout that love to look up.
Guy has been floating the Middle Fork for 30 years and leading adventure trips for 40. Today, he breaks down the Middle Fork for the fly angler and shares great stories of rafting in the Himalayas, scary moments on El Capitan, thoughts on free climbers and famous recluses, dynamite and log jams. Stick around to the end for a great story from Napal that will warm your heart.
Bonus, tips on remote tributaries you can fish.
