I'm helping my husband plan a trout fishing trip with his brother and father. He's narrowed the trip to Idaho, looking mainly at the Henry's fork area. The three men are avid trout fishermen in the KY/TN/AK area but have never been west. Here are some of the questions we're struggling with...How important are guides for someone with fishing experience? Is renting a boat and venturing out on their own too dangerous or grounds for a disappointing trip? (They want to experience different sections of the river and it is our understanding a boat is necessary) Is Henry's fork in July too populated with fellow fishermen? (They would appreciate some seclusion) Are there other rivers and creeks they should consider? (My husband would have the patience for especially finicky fish, but my father-in-law would probably not).
Thank you all so much for this wonderful forum. I would appreciate any ideas and opinions.
