Fishing Grounds

The Salt River is an 84-mile-long river, draining a valley in Lincoln County, in Western Wyoming. It is named for several exposed beds of salty & briny salt springs, of up to 60% pure salt in Idaho, that drains into the Salt River via Stump Creek. 

The Salt River holds a few Rainbow and Brook Trout, but the prime attractions are the Snake River Fine Spotted Cutthroat Trout and Brown Trout. The Salt River offers great opportunities to catch big shouldered Browns in early and late part of the season, as the fish move up from the Palisades Reservoir. 

The Salt is a private and beautiful winding river, with deep cut banks and an abundance of Willows, dropping terrestrials on the dinner plate during summer months. The year round cold water contributes to a very healthy trout fishery. Come and enjoy a memorable day on the Salt with Oxbow Anglers!
