Fishing
Many species of cold and warm water fish live in the Salmon River, including rainbow trout, smallmouth bass, white sturgeon, steelhead, and salmon. Summer trips offer fly and spin casting for bass and trout, and “catch and release” fishing for white sturgeon.

Wildlife

Birds of Prey, Big Horn Sheep, Deer, Elk and River Otter all call the Salmon River drainage home.

Cultural Heritage

  • Historic river crossing sites used by Chief Joseph’s Band of Nez Perce during the infamous Nez Perce War.
  • Native American pictographs
  • Chinese immigrant mining remnants
  • Early 20th century homesteads
  • Rafting has been entrenched in the past half century of Salmon River history, and enjoying the river and protecting the resource is why we continue in our 40th year to share the experience.

You guys and gal did a superb job of making this trip enjoyable and memorable. We admire your skill, your friendly demeanor and, especially your teamwork.You made us feel special!
Members of the Spruce Creek Rod & Gun Club, PA (2008)
“I am so happy to have gotten to spend time with you in your environment.  You clearly found your niche those years ago.  I/we had a great time.  I met some very interesting people and have new friends.  River time is curative of almost all ills.  It was great for me in many ways.  You have a great team.  You are turning over the reins to a very competent young man – Colin.  I look forward to more river trips with your outfit…”
J. Menzner, Boise, ID (2016)
The trip was great – Such a beautiful canyon and river, we had a wonderful time! Great beauty, many laughs and wonderful food! Will be back again soon!
L. Thomas, Camp Sherman, OR (2005)
We really enjoyed our trip this past week on the Middle Fork. My daughter, Barrie (6 years old) had a great time. I don’t think I have ever seen her have as much fun.
B. Wright, Cleveland, MS (2006)
Thank you for another outstanding trip. You guys always go the extra mile to make these trips awesome! Buzz, Aaron, Marshall, Matt, and Colin were fabulous guides (as always)! The company, the food, and the wilderness – you couldn’t ask for anything better! Thank you so very much! I would so much like to be back on the river, listening to the calming (and rushing) water, soaking up the sun and fresh air, enjoying the solitude and peacefulness …with good friends.
M. Proce, Knoxville, MD (2009)
Thank you so much to you and your team for a fabulous trip! … As you know, this was my first river-rafting and camping trip and you and your team made it a fantastic experience…. Thank you for a wonderful memory!
K. Peters, San Francisco, CA (2014)
What an outstanding operation!  This company’s river guides are the best I’ve come across.  My family has rafted the Grand Canyon, Cataract Canyon, and a host of others with professional guides.  Hughes company was by far and away the best we have ever used.  Everything they did was excellent.  The food was incredible, the service top notch, and their staff and guides were warm, fun, and very attentive.  Don’t hesitate to book with this company!
P. Lowe, Ogden, UT (2018)
I wanted to take this opportunity to tell you that our trip down the Middle Fork was such a very, very special time for us that it will remain in our hearts and minds for years to come. Very seldom does a week go by that we don’t mention something that we did or learned on the river, and as the years turn to decades… I know we will always cherish your companionship.
J. Lehman, Dallas, TX (1986)
Thank you to my guides and other guests.  The sky, the land, the river were all awesome.  This was a most memorable adventure.
Cote, Levittown, NY (2021)
