The Salmon River is located in Idaho in the northwestern United States. The Salmon is also known as The River of No Return. It flows for 425 miles (684 km) through central Idaho, draining 14,000 square miles and dropping more than 7,000 vertical feet between its headwaters above the Sawtooth Valley and its confluence with the Snake River. Its discharge is 11,060 ft³/s. Cities located along the Salmon River include Stanley, Clayton, Challis, Salmon, Riggins, and White Bird.

The following list of tackle and flies will provide some guidelines for fly fishing Idaho's Middle Fork of the Salmon River.

This 100-mile stretch of wilderness river is so famous that the words "Middle Fork" are always interpreted as referring to this river, even though plenty of other rivers have a middle fork.

At 2.6 ft the Middle Fork was exciting but not extreme. This was my first trip down the Middle Fork. I had read all I could find and had built myself up to anticipate a strong class III-IV river.

The Middle Fork of the Salmon is Idaho's premier river and is considered one of the top 10 rivers in America. I know why, now, after spending six wonderful days floating this special 100 miles of high mountain river.

The Middle Fork of the Salmon is an amazing river canyon and this guide helps people navigate their way through the rapids, as well as gives them details about hiking, fishing, history, Native American historical sites, wildlife, botany, etc. A great guide for anyone planning to spend time in the Middle Fork canyon.
