Fly Fishing

Sun Valley - Trout The feel of a perfectly-cast line, the rise of a trout as it takes an insect off the surface of the water, and scenic travel are some of the reasons 11 million Americans actively pursue the sport of fly-fishing. Whether enjoyed on a once-a-year fly-fishing trip, or weekly along a nearby stream, fly-fishing is a sport full of history, skill, and a healthy respect of the outdoors.

There are few places better for fly-fishing than Sun Valley from spring through fall. The Big Wood River, hundreds of high alpine lakes and the world famous Silver Creek Preserve make this one of the finest fly-fishing destinations in North America.

Aston Hotels & Resorts Sun Valley has partnered with Ketchum on the Fly to offer a number of special packages for families, couples and seniors alike.
