The Maze District of Canyonlands National Park envelopes a labyrinth of canyons, challenging 4WD trails and hard-to-reach, but well-worth-reaching rock art panels. If this rugged adventure poses too enumerable barriers to you, consider a professional outfitter, like Tag-A-Long Expeditions of Moab, Utah, to lead and care for you in this outstanding landscape.

One of the best parts about the sport of fly-fishing is experiencing the scenery and calmness around you as you are trying to land your trophy fish. Idaho is a great place to find some solitude while fly-fishing. In fact, the vast expanses that surround the rivers and streams in Idaho provide you with some of the most relaxing solitude anywhere.

Fishing among crowds is just part of the fly fishing world. And there is much good to be had from commiserating with fellow fly fisherman. Many great conversations can be had, information swapped, some of it might even be true at times, and many great characters can be met, during your time on the water. I used to worry more about crowded fishing than I do now. Part of me has just come to expect it, but there are still times when fishing in solitude is desirable.

I just thought I would put in a quick update on the steelhead fishing at Riggins Idaho and the little Salmon River to the south.

While the river has not come up to its normal spring time flows it has come up over the last week and the steelhead are stating to move on up the river. Saturday March 22 2008 I Stopped and fished a couple of holes on my way to Riggins From New Meadows I did Hook and land two steelhead in the Bolder Creek area but fishing was still fairly slow there.
