Fishing the Big Wood River...

... one of Idaho's world class Trout streams.


The Big Wood River, located in central Idaho near Ketchum, is a world class fishery within minutes of Ketchum and Sun Valley homes. The stream hosts an excellent population of rainbow, brown, and a few brook trout. Brown Trout are more common farther down the headwaters toward Belgrade.

This freestone stream depends mainly on run-off from mountain snows or rain.

High water usually exists through early June, providing good fishing levels after runoff subsides from mid-late June through the Fall.

A nine foot five weight is generally the most popular for this river and the many others in the area.

Tough rainbows and browns provide anglers with great seasonal fishing...


The Big Wood's headwaters are found just west of Galena Peak which is over 11,000 feet high. From there it flows southeast and then south when it reaches Sun Valley. From Sun Valley the river flows past Ketchum, Hailey, and Bellevue before reaching Magic Reservoir. Almost its entire length is traversed by Route 75. Access along Route 75 is easy providing many places to pull off and fish. Below Magic reservoir is a tail-water section that also produces some quality fishing as well.
