My husband and I spent 4 hours with Steve as a start to our fly fishing hobby. We came from Cincinnati and found the right company for the experience. Steve was incredibly knowledgeable, fun, fully prepared and fish were caught! I highly recommend Vice Outdoors if you are a beginner or an experienced fly fisher.

I couldn’t have asked for a better experience with Steven. After stepping away from fly fishing for a few years, I wanted to brush up on my skills and learn more about our local river system—and Vice Outdoors exceeded all my expectations. I highly recommend it to anyone, from beginners to those needing to learn our local water and build skills.

I was tired of getting skunked on the Boise so I hired Steve and he didn’t disappoint. He got me dialed in on the right bugs and some good runs. Needless to say we caught fish and had a great day on the water. Steve is very knowledgeable and a really great teacher. I highly recommend Vice Outdoors and Steve Sandusky as a guide!

This section of river is world-renowned for:
Wild brown trout over 20 inches
Epic dry fly hatches (Skwalas, PMDs, BWOs, Hoppers, Mahogany Duns)
Remote canyon views with technical trout fishing
We offer:
Full-day guided Owyhee trips with flies, lunch, and expert instruction
Personalized setups and coaching for anglers of all levels
Gear if needed — or we’ll help you dial in what to bring
