North Idaho is a region known for its secluded mountain lakes, clear blue streams, and excellent fishing hot spots. If you're looking for a wilderness adventure, stop at a trailhead and hike up into the mountains to fish the cool waters of a mountain lake. The clear air and challenging terrain make for a truly rewarding experience. You can use a fly rod or regular tackle while fishing most of these lakes.

If wading in a rushing river is more to your liking, be sure to keep your fishing gear handy as you traverse the scenic beauty of North Idaho. Often you can stop off along the road, hop right into the river, and start fishing. You'll have a great time fly-fishing while admiring the quiet, tranquility of the surrounding mountains.
