I spent a few wonderful days before Thanksgiving in the Salmon River country of central Idaho. Fiddle Creek is between the whitewater and steelhead trout fishing towns of Riggins and Whitebird. The steelhead eluded us, but we saw lots of wildlife - elk, mule deer, golden eagles, magpies, turkeys, Canada geese, and those energetic little gray dippers, the ouzels.
Payette Lake in McCall, Idaho. Brundage Mountain Ski Resort is not far from this lovely little burg.
My father fishing on a rocky bar downstream from Riggins at the place our family calls "The Rock" - a large vertical outcrop that juts into the Salmon River at the head of a deep slow hole. Informational signs describing the geology of the area are along the roadside here. We cannot pass this place without "dropping a line" to see what is biting, any time of the year.
