30 August 2010:

Our 2010 whitewater season is about over, with a late September trip on the Lower Salmon remaining.  Among the trips we offer, the Lower Salmon in September is a sleeper. September is the best time to be on that section of river, after the summer heat has moderated in that low-elevation country. September is still summer there, and more pleasant than July or August. Small mouth bass fishing is good. Few people are on the river at this time of the year, after the traditional summer vacation period. These trips are especially attractive for people within a few hours drive of the Lewiston area, since they are scheduled to be extended weekend trips, without a major vacation commitment. You can drive to the area after work on Thursday, float Friday-Saturday-Sunday-Monday, and return home in time for work on Tuesday--one last chance to swim and wiggle your toes in the sand before cold weather comes.

What Others Say About Fishing and White Water Adventures on the Salmon River with Aggipah.

July 16, 2007: email

Dear Bill, I can't believe it has been a whole year since we gathered for our wonderful never-to-be forgotten trip down the Middle Fork with you. Everyone is still talking about it with joy and delight. Our family will hold the experience in our hearts and mind's eye forever. There was a spiritual quality to the adventure as well as all the fun, which reinforced the affection between family members.

Bill and Stephanie,

Planning a Trip | What to Bring  

Whitewater Rafting on Idaho's Salmon River 

Whitewater rafting in Idaho is a premium river experience. The Main Salmon River, the River of No Return, offers excellent Idaho white water rafting. You'll also enjoy placid pools, magnificent mountain scenery and beautiful sand beaches. Most of the river gorge is timbered, reaching 5000 feet or more to the ridges above. Elevation is moderate, beginning at 3000 feet, so summer temperatures are warm. We float 80 miles in six days.

Idaho River Trips: What to Bring and Wear

Equipment needed on Idaho river tours will depend on duration of the trip and time of the year. Most Idaho river outfitters provide all but personal items. On our summer day floats, which have trivial white water, you would need very little-- sandals or sneakers that can get wet, swim suit, and tee-shirt, maybe a light jacket preferably of polar fleece, maybe a rainsuit if weather is threatening. Like most Idaho river outfitters, we provide life jackets.

In colder water or heavier rapids, a wet suit or helmet may be needed. We provide and require use of helmets in paddle boats. Wetsuits sometimes are needed in high, cold water, especially for people in paddle boats. We do not include them, but they can be rented at the beginning of the trip from the River Wear store. Multi-day Idaho river tours will require sleeping bags and additional clothing. Like most Idaho river outfitters who run overnight trips, Aggipah provides tents. We also provide sleeping pads, waterproof duffle bags for your gear, and day bags and boxes for cameras, sun tan lotion, sun glasses, etc. Most people bring their own sleeping bags, but we do have rental bags available. We bring folding dining tables and chairs.

Plan Your White Water Rafting or Fishing Trip 

Idaho white water rafting trips on our favorite stretches of the Salmon and Middlefork rivers include day, or half-day and extended, multi-day excursions. Because of access limitations in the river canyons of Idaho, rafting trips lasting only a day or two frequently are near roads, while multi-day journeys usually are in back-country or wilderness areas.

Specialty River Trips 

Every once in awhile we have a unique opportunity to offer our customers a distinct trip.  We enjoy putting together speciality trips for our customers, and creating that "Once in a Lifetime" adventure.

Spring Hiking and Whitewater Trips: A True Wilderness Experience

 Looking for a real winderness adventure? Join us for a spring hiking and whitewater adventure. We'll spend a day hiking as far as our legs will take us on trails  such as the Three-Blaze, made famous during the 1900-1902 Thunder Mountain Gold Rush. We'll return to camp for a delicious Dutch oven meal, then gear up for a day of running some of Idaho's world-class whitewater. We won't see another float party. You'll see more elk, sheep, deer, bear, and even wolves than you will in the summer. The wildflowers are at full bloom. You'll be amazed at the breath-taking beauty of the Canyon as it comes to life again.  These trips are pre-season, so they can be tailored to fit your schedule. We suggest a minimum of 5 to 7 days to really experience the Main Salmon Canyon. Call us for more details, and to find out how to make this trip your next wilderness experience.

Central Missouri State University Alumni trip (30 July Main Salmon)

We are offering a special  trip this year for alumni of Central Missouri State University, with a small discount,  on the Main Salmon on 30 July.  Peg and I graduated from there, hope to see some old acquaintences.  Call for additional details, or contact the alumni office.
