rockyRocky Recommends...

Need a little inspiration for your vacation?  Follow Rocky the Roaming Bighorn Sheep as he roams around the Lewis-Clark Valley to explore everything we have to offer!  From exciting jet boat tours and fishing to wine tasting and golfing and tons more!

 

This week Rocky recommends that you enjoy some of the best fishing in the nation that happens to be right here in our backyard!  See below...

Few places offer the variety and accessibility of outdoor diversions that are found right in our backyard. You don't even have to leave town to find some of the best fishing spots for trolling, spinning, bait casting and fly-fishing. Five public boat ramps and two marinas are located within a few miles. The spring and summer month's fast action catch is bass and trout. During the fall it is steelhead. The canyon has a healthy number of North America's largest fresh water fish, the great white sturgeon, which can reach lengths up to eight feet. You can't take one home but catching one could be the highlight of your trip.

 

 You can fish on your own or engage the services of a local outfitter to take you to the hottest fishing spots.  

 

You can contact an outfitter from the following link:
