CDA River Fishing Trip

The CDA River fishing trip features some of the finest scenery in Northern Idaho. It is a healthy fishery, filled primarily with cutthroat trout. Join us for a full day or half day fly fishing adventure on the CDA River!

*Our MOST POPULAR FISHING TRIP*

We fish the Coeur d’Alene April-November as the weather and water levels permit. This is one of the best fishing trips in Coeur d’Alene, Idaho due to it’s proximity to town, it’s beautiful diverse scenery, and excellent fishing. The main attraction to this particular body of water is a native fish called the Westslope Black Tail Cutthroat Trout. There are also rainbow trout in this watershed. Water flows are higher in May and June therefore timing on this river is essential. Half day trips are usually 4 to 5 hours depending on water flow. We have morning or afternoon departures. If you are out on the river in the fall with us, there is a Chinook Salmon spawn on this river that is beautiful to see.

This CDA River fishing trip is offered by boat courtesy of Outfitter #8913. All other outfitters fish the sections of the river by wade fishing above the stretch we fish and it’s a beauty to visit all the wonderful fishing holes and true North Idaho scenery on a raft or boat.

Book your half day or full day fly fishing trip and you won’t regret it. Already an experienced angler? Get to know the river through a guide. It will pay off for years to come as an investment in the knowledge of this river our guides have to offer on what to fish with and when.
