I have been fishing this river for the past 4 years, my first with S &S Outfitters. It was by far the best experience ever. Our guide, Brian, was fantastic, organized and funny. We cannot wait for our trip next year. Shane SullivanDecember 4, 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Went on a 3 day 2 night trip called a cast and blast. The trip and guide service food at camp and the jet boat were absolutely second to none. This fishing and hunting trip was the most fun I have had in a long time. The camp cook prepared our breakfast and diners at camp and was far better than going out to eat anywhere. If there was an option for 10 stars these guys absolutely nailed it I will definitely be booking another trip in the future and if possible every year moving forward. We had Captain Peyton, and deck mate Aiden for a crew on the jet boat and they gave a little bit of history in Hells Canyon. Jon DevonOctober 6, 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. This was the first time for most of us Bass/Sturgeon fishing!! Mike and Aiden were amazing guides, we all caught bass and we caught 4 Sturgeon... with our last one being over 8 ft!! This will definitely be a new annual trip for us!! Thank you Mike and Aiden for having such a great sense of humor and making our experience unforgettable!! Tina KelleySeptember 9, 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We loved our trip! Our guide was great, the boat ride was fun and exciting, and lunch was delicious! It was a perfect day! Desiree RowlandSeptember 9, 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Took a jet boat ride through Hells Canyon from Pittsburg Landing boat launch with Captain Brian. A great ride and day spent on the Snake River. Brian was fantastic host and guide. Gave us a lot of history of various sites along the river, and he was spot on with fishing spots for smallmouth bass catching and releasing. I would recommend this outfitters company for the experience. And Brian would be your man for a fun, safe and great experience on the Snake River Donald BuchananSeptember 5, 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Great trip S&S are awesome. Very knowledgeable about the river and the conditions. We brought our friends from Kentucky down and everybody had a fantastic time. Would highly recommend anybody that wants to raft The salmon only call S&S river outfitters. 100% Jeff LewisSeptember 1, 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I'm not one to leave reviews as I'm a little old-fashioned. But I have to say Peyton and Aiden did a fabulous job on our sturgeon trip this last weekend. These guys kept us safe, yet made it feel like they were part of our group of friends fishing. They put us on the fish and gave us an epic boat ride. I've got to say if you're looking to have a really good time, these are your guys. We all look forward to our next trip with S & S and will be talking about this one for a long time. Great job, guys. My son will remember his bachelor party forever, and you helped make it happen. Rob JewettMay 20, 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Great place to stay and the food was delicious. Fishing was superb and most definitely will do this again. Thank you Jess and Brenda!! Abran MunizApril 7, 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Jess and Brenda are great hosts and offer fantastic trips. Just finished a spring steelhead trip that was absolutely the best. The food and lodging are great and the boat and fishing guide are the best on the river.
