Silver Creek Outfitters acquires Sawtooth Fishing Guides

In an exciting new move into new guiding waters, Silver Creek Outfitters recently acquired Stanley based Sawtooth Fishing Guides from Julie Meissner. The purchase expands Silver Creek Outfitter's area of operation to include the Main Salmon River from Stanley to Challis, Headwaters of the Middle Fork, and a variety of alpine lakes. In addition Silver Creek Outfitters now has the opportunity to offer guided drift boat fishing trips on the Main Salmon River.

Silver Creek Outfitters' roots may be traced back over 40 years beginning as Dick Alf's Fly Shop in 1963 and evolving into a world class fly fishing specialty store.

A 30-plus year veteran of the Sawtooth Valley, Julie Meissner created a successful trout and steelhead outfitting business based on her many years of experience guiding guests into Idaho's backcountry. She is looking forward to continuing as a guide for Silver Creek Outfitters. "I am looking forward to doing what I love most, being on the river" she says, "but I won't miss the office work." Most of her guide staff are now employees of Silver Creek Outfitters.

"Our guides love the idea of guiding over the hill and floating the Salmon River in drift boats" says, Silver Creek Outfitter's owner Terry Ring. "We are really looking forward to a fun summer with some incredible new water to fish."
