Idaho Fishing Guides
Idaho is home to thousands of miles of pristine rivers and lakes
Reel Time Fishing is proud to offer some of the best guided fishing trips in Idaho!
Reel Time Fishing is privy to some of Idaho’s most precious gems, the Clearwater River, Dworshak Reservoir and thousands of miles of pristine rivers and lakes! Our licensed guides can provide year-round guided fishing trips in these prime spots.
We own two lower river permits that let us fish Lewiston all the way down to Orofino with up six boats a day, while our newest upper permit grants access from Orofino up until Kooskia for Spring Salmon trips.
And finally, an additional permit allows us to operate two boats daily on Dworshak Reservoir where you can find world class habitats for Kokanee, legendary large Smallmouth Bass and Trout.
Our pride and joy, the Clearwater River
Get ready for a trip of a lifetime.
The Clearwater River is where dreams come true, here’s your chance to experience one of the world’s greatest Steelheads rivers, 70 miles long and with 40 accessible by guided trips.
From July through March, you can hunt them down but don’t miss out in October: that’s when they really show up in style (and bring their wallets too!). For more details just follow our Steelhead page – it’ll have everything you need!
For those in search of a true angling adventure, Dworshak Reservoir is the place to be. Spanning an impressive 50 miles behind its namesake dam, constructed back in the ‘70s for flood control purposes.
This is Idaho’s largest man-made reservoir, which offers world-class Smallmouth Bass fishing that has competitors coming from near and far! Furthermore, Dworshak is becoming known for its Kokanee fishing with healthy populations and a 25 fish limit per angler per day.
