The Little Wood River flows through South-Central Idaho for almost 90 miles. Starting in the Pioneer Mountains and flowing south it meets up with Silver Creek just few miles southeast of Picabo. From Sun Valley, the Little Wood River offers convenient fishing and rafting in a quite and peaceful setting.

As a key source of irrigation for Eastern Blaine County, the Little Wood River is a vital part of the area. It is known mostly as a desert river, and the surrounding flat land and sagebrush is evidence why.

With few access points, anglers must often ask landowners if they may walk through their land, and are usually allowed.  Because of this, the Little Wood is uncrowded most of the time, leaving anglers plenty of fish to catch.

While the river begins about 50 miles southeast of Ketchum, the prime fishing area begins where Silver Creek joins Little Wood. There is a great variety of water to fish and is home mostly to rainbow and brown trout. There is only one area that is primarily catch and release, the Taylor/Williams Recreation Area, near Richfield.

Although this river can be fished year round, the best time to experience it would be in June and again in late summer and fall.
