Idaho Troutfitters in Twin Falls serves as the essential outfitter for the Magic Valley's remarkable and often-overlooked fly fishing. The shop sits at the epicenter of the Snake River Plain, where the Snake River carves through sheer basalt canyon walls in one of the most dramatic landscapes in the American West. Below Twin Falls, the spring-fed reach known as the Thousand Springs stretch produces exceptional rainbow and brown trout fishing in cold, gin-clear water that remains fishable year-round. The canyon's remote character keeps pressure low even during peak season, and the reward — large trout rising in a volcanic gorge — is unlike anything else in Idaho.
Idaho Troutfitters provides guided wade and float trips for the South Fork of the Snake to the north, the tailwaters and spring creeks of the Magic Valley, and the lower canyon stretches that most out-of-state anglers never discover. The shop stocks a well-chosen inventory of rods, reels, waders, and flies, with particular emphasis on the patterns that work in the clear, technical waters of the Snake River spring creeks. Staff members fish these rivers hard and provide current, reliable reports on conditions and hatches across the region. For anglers who want to explore beyond Idaho's famous northern fisheries, Idaho Troutfitters unlocks a world-class southern Idaho experience.

“Had no idea what to expect from the Snake River canyon near Twin Falls — came in skeptical and left a convert. The staff pointed me toward a spring creek below the canyon that fished incredibly well all afternoon on small Baetis patterns. Very generous with their knowledge and the shop is well-stocked. This part of Idaho is seriously underrated.”
“Booked a guided trip for my husband's birthday and the guides here delivered something special. We fished a remote canyon stretch of the Snake that we would never have found alone — big wild rainbows, dramatic basalt walls, and not another angler in sight. The shop team handled everything from licensing to lunch. Exceptional experience.”
“Good local fly shop with knowledgeable staff. They know the Magic Valley waters well and set me up with the right nymph rigs for the tailwater section. Report was accurate and the fish were where they said they'd be. Will return next spring.”
