On our day floats, we provide a gourmet shore lunch set up, drinks, a professional guide with a boat, vast opportunities to catch fish, a peaceful float down the river, transportation, and all the fishing gear (flies, rods, leaders, etc.), with the exception of waders.

Itinerary 

  • White Pine will arrange a time between 7-10 am to meet in the town of Calder, Idaho.  
  • After a quick meet and greet in Calder, you will jump in the rig with your guide and head up or downriver to a designated boat launch to start your day on the river. 
  • Expect to be in the car 10 - 30 minutes as your guide navigates to the boat launch ( a good time to quiz your guide or catch up). 
  • Typical floats last 7 - 9 hours with all fly fishing gear provided (with the exception of waders, recommended in the early spring and fall). 
  • Halfway through the day, we will take an hour for a stream side gourmet lunch.
  • You will be off the river by 3 pm - 6 pm depending on the season. 
  • We work with a shuttle crew to get the rig back down to the take out. At which point we will drive you back to your rig or we will be taking you out at the Calder boat ramp which is where your car will be waiting.

    Multi-Day Trip Cancellations

    If you find it necessary to cancel your trip please notify us as soon as possible. All deposits are non-refundable. If you cancel your trip more than 120 days prior to your departure date we will retain your deposit and credit it toward a future trip with White Pine Outfitters.

    Travel Insurance / Life Flight Insurance

    Your pre-trip package will provide more information on the rigors of the trip you have chosen. Even though we make every effort to insure a safe trip for everyone, we strongly recommend that you protect yourself, your belongings, and your vacation by purchasing a traveler’s insurance policy. Should you have to cancel your trip at the last minute due to illness or injury, a trip cancellation policy will cover your non-refundable payments in most cases. If you become ill or injured while on a river trip, evacuation may be prolonged, difficult and expensive. Many trip insurance policies cover such events. If you choose not to purchase travel insurance you will be asked to sign a waiver. Baggage and cameras are carried entirely at the owner’s risk, and White Pine Outfitters Inc. accepts no responsibility for lost, damaged, or delayed property. We recommend TRAVELEX.
