Orange Bus Fly Fishing

About

Orange Bus Fly Fishing turns the Boise River — an exceptional urban tailwater running through the heart of Idaho's capital city — into the centerpiece of a fly fishing experience that most urban anglers don't know exists. Lucky Peak Reservoir dam creates the Boise River tailwater, releasing cold, clear water that flows through city parks and the Greenbelt path system within minutes of downtown Boise, where rainbow and brown trout rise to midges and other hatches while cyclists and joggers pass on the path above the bank. The river's accessible, beginner-friendly character combined with genuine trout fishing quality makes it one of the best introductory fly fishing environments in the Pacific Northwest — you can be teaching someone to cast in the morning and have them landing their first wild trout by afternoon.

Orange Bus offers guided trips on the Boise River tailwater and day trips to south Idaho's broader fishing waters, making exceptional trout fishing accessible to Boise-area anglers of every skill level. Casting lessons on the Greenbelt are a specialty — the open grassy banks make ideal casting practice space before stepping into the river. Quality gear from Sage, Simms, and Rio is stocked for clients who want to outfit themselves properly after catching the fly fishing bug. Day trips into the broader south Idaho Snake River system and the Magic Valley's remarkable spring creeks extend the offering for anglers ready to explore beyond the Boise tailwater. This is the shop that makes fly fishing in Idaho's capital city genuinely possible, practical, and fun.
