Where is the Best Fly Fishing in Idaho?

Where Can I Get Fishing Gear?

The fishing gear you will need will depend on if you decide to go fly fishing in Idaho by yourself or with a guide. There are tons of fishing excursions offered in this area; we recommend going with one of them because they usually provide everything you need. Otherwise, you can bring your own supplies or pick up what you need at Stanley Fly Shop.
