Default Northwest airports near flyfishing spots

Shearer or Moose Creek in Idaho. Last trip to Moose Creek...2 guys, 20hrs,
200 trout to 22". There are other great spots like Vines but they require a
lot more skill to get into than most pilots have and I wouldn't consider
them in a 182 without extensive Idaho backcountry experience. Moose Creek
is the most benign airport with great fishing in ID. None of these places
really get good until late July when the water level goes down. August and
September are better yet.

Hi Everyone,

I am looking for good flyfishing locations around
Washington/Oregon/Idaho/Montana/Vancouver BC.

It would be ideal if the airport was either walking distance to the
fishing holes, or there is some type of shuttle or taxi service that could
be purchased.

I would either rent a 182 or piper warrior/arrow for the trips depending
on runway stats and other pertinent specs. One of the rental outfits I use
doesn't allow their aircraft to land on non-paved runways, so that has an
effect also.

Any help greatly appreciated.
