On a clear, sunny day in Central Idaho, muffled voices are heard in the distance, as jet boat engines roar through the chop of river rapids and pristine waters of the Main Salmon River. Happy shrieks and laughs, along with the splash of waves move closer to where we sit relaxing on the beach at Mackay Bar Ranch.
Two twin engine jet boats appear around the corner, filled with groups of people, sharing the fun and the exhilaration of a jet boat adventure, laughing, smiling and living the good life!
In plain clothes, these jet boat passengers appear to be ordinary people out enjoying a day in backcountry Idaho, riding the waves that ripple from shore to shore in the Frank Church “River of No Return” Wilderness. They are among an elite group of top performing corporate earners, winning a group adventure because of the virtues of their exceptional performance on the job, and the clever business prowess that has won the trust of customer accounts, big and small.

FALL STEELHEAD FISHING FOR GROUPS!
Idaho Fall Steelhead season starts middle of October.
We fish hard right up until the end of November.
Fall Steelhead fishing is highly sought by groups seeking a multi-day outdoor adventure. In the fall when we’re fishing the Salmon River for giant steelhead, the echo of Big Horn Sheep ramming their heads during the rut, is a fascinating experience our guests really get excited about.
The early season fall run will be the fairest weather fishing we have to offer. With the water still warm and the fish full of energy, the steelhead put up a great fight! Book early to ensure your best dates are available.
