Hello All,
Will be heading out to the Ketchum area around Sept 8th to fish Silver Creek and then plan on heading up to Stanley, Challis (maybe up to Salmon?) and then down to Island Park.
Besides Silver Creek are there any other "must hit" waters out there for that time of year? I'd like to have a chance at catching something different like a grayling or bull trout. Is there any chance at a Steelhead or Chinook in that area in Sept?
What can we do on our own and what do we need a guide for? For example, it looks like I can pretty much pull over anywhere on ID-75 and throw my line into the Salmon (alway respecting private property of course).
Also, is there anything worth checking out in Ketchum (restaurants, nightlife, etc...) or should we just head up to Stanley? Stanley looks infinitely more interesting (not to mention beautiful) than Ketchum.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
P.S. We will be fly fishing and will only have about 2 1/2 - 3 days in the area.
