The Middle Fork of the Salmon in September
September 2-6, September 14-19, & September 22-27, 2010
Here are some shots from three Middle Fork of the Salmon trips in September of 2010. We had great weather for all three trips, spectacular fly-fishing, and nearly had the river to ourselves. September is an excellent time of year on this river. If you don't mind the lower water and scraping over rocks you can enjoy one of the best wilderness trips in the U.S. without entering the permit lottery (post-season trips).
