The Salt River flows for 70 miles along the border of Idaho and Wyoming. It starts in the Salt River Mountain Range and flows north into the Palisades Reservoir. The Salt River has numerous access points in Star Valley between Afton and the Palisades Reservoir. Fly fishing on the Salt River is best from mid to late June all the way into November. The Salt River often clears before some other major rivers in the area. Salmonflies and Golden Stones are the first insects to pop and the Cutthroat and Brown trout take notice. Gray Drakes, Yellow Sallies, Caddis and Pale Morning Duns are also on the menu through July. August is terrestrial time on the Salt River where Grasshoppers, Ants, and Beetles bring the river’s best trout to the surface. September continues with terrestrial action, but Mahogany Duns and Blue Winged Olives dominate as October nears. Nymph and streamer fishing are the ticket towards the end of October and through November as the trophy Brown trout from the Palisades swim upstream on their spawning run. If you enjoy pool fishing and cut banks, you’ll enjoy fishing the Salt. The fish populations are healthy, and you won’t struggle to land any. Experience a full day of fly fishing or spin fishing on the Snake, Salt, Green or New Fork Rivers. Full-day trips give anglers ample time to hone their skills and target different hatches throughout the day. Trip length is 6–8 hours.
