Advice for August fishing/camping, please..

Hello all.

I am trying to plan a trip in August to Idaho. I would really love to find a great campground that is on a river for the husband to fish in. We had originally thought about Henry%26#39;s Fork area in the east, but I am leaning towards central Idaho, possibly the East Fork of the salmon? The pictures I%26#39;ve seen from this area are amazing.

Does anyone know of a great campground with good scenery and good fishing? Thanks so much...

Tell me some more about what you want to see\do. What kind of camp ground, what do you need? RVing, pick up camper, tent? Wild fish or stocked fish? What will you be driving? Let me know and I will give you some ideas.

Thanks for your response! We will be probably be tent camping, possibly bringing a pop-up but it hasn%26#39;nt been decided yet. I am more interested in the scenery/view and my husband just wants to fish. He doesn%26#39;t care if they are stocked or wild. Here in Missouri the trout rivers are stocked, so wild might be a good change for him. I%26#39;ve noticed that the majority of this area is National Forest and the campgrounds don%26#39;t have showers. A place with a shower, or one nearby, would be great. Thanks for any help!

have you ever heard about silver creek, near picabo idaho??it is supposed to be one of the best places to fish in the world...that is what i hear. and you are close to the sun valley area and could drive north , fishing all the way through idahos wonderful wilderness

Have you looked into camping near Stanley? You would have the option of Red Fish Lake (absolutely gorgeous) or Stanley Lake (also great). The Salmon river runs through and your husband could fish the river there or hire an outfitter. Also, Salmon, ID is a great place, not as sure about the camping there but I%26#39;m sure there are plenty of places. Also a little town called Mackay has access to the Big Lost River - fishing, a campground at the resevoir and amazing mountain views. Have a great time.

Thanks, that area looks great!

There are hundreds of camp spots along the salmon River both upstream of Stanley and downstream to wards Sunbeam. Check out Stanley Idaho at www.stanleycc.org. There are also a number of fishing outfitters based in Stanley. For walk and wade trips check out Sawtooth Fishing Guides. For float fishing on the Salmnon river take a look at Salmon river Anglers. Make sure and check out the hostprings in the area!
