Salmon Trip Help

[Aluma165]

My friend and I want to fish the Chinook season this month. We are in Boise. We want to go on a guided trip with someone that knows the ropes. He's looked at typical guide sites and most are a couple of hundred for a full day with the boats wanting 6 people per trip...
Isn't my preference to go on that type of trip.
I'm looking for a small operator that'll just take us or maybe one more person.
I don't mind a couple of hundred for a full day, I just want to do the fishing rather than have my number called after the fish is hooked, etc. (like I ran into in Alaska last summer) I'm not rigged for big Salmon but I have plenty of steelhead gear. Probably prefer to use a knowledgeable and local small time guide and his equipment rather than hit that learning curve.
Anyone done this type of trip?
I know on the old steelheader site there used to be forum members offering all different types of fishing from extra seats on their boat to small commercial trips.
Any idea where we might start?
I'm reading the reports and watching the Bonneville cam; seems its still a bit slow. I'd like to go up for around 3 days; fish two and bring home a couple of nice fish...

Hey, I'm looking for something like that as well. Could you send me that private message too? Thanks.

I know a guy I would highly recommend. His name is Bobby Kratzer. I worked for him in Alaska for three years and I have a ton of respect for him as a guide as well as an honest person. He is the most knowlegeble person I know when it comes to Salmon and Steelhead. He is guiding for Chinook on the Columbia right now, he doesn't guide in Idaho only Washington and Alaska, but it wouldn't be much of a drive from Boise. He was voted the number one steelhead guide a few years ago by one of the fishing magazines, and he would show you a great time and his prices are very reasonable. Here is a link to his site [url "http://www.anglersguideservice.com/"][/url][url "http://www.anglersguideservice.com/"]http://www.anglersguideservice.com/[/url] . Give us a report with pictures.
