The very first thing we fell in love over was fishing—and in Stanley, you can have the same love affair.

Stanley is located on Idaho's most iconic river, the Salmon. It's also a gateway for folks who want to hike and earn that mountain cutthroat high up in the alpine mountain lakes. There are also at least a dozen crystal blue lakes that you and your posse can drive to, including Stanley Lake, Redfish Lake, and Petit Lake.

If you've never been to the area and are looking for more information on where to fish during your stay, there are guided fishing trips available as well!
