snake dancer excursions
Snake Dancer Excursions offers year-round
jet boat tours through Hells Canyon and top-notch charter fishing along the Snake River. This Clarkston-based outfit has been
in operation since 1970, making it the oldest business of its kind
in the area. “We get a lot of clients who come back. I really enjoy
the people,” says Bill Bonson, who runs the operation with his
daughter and son-in-law.

Bonson and company have intentionally kept Snake Dancer
Excursions a small, family-owned business. “We operate small
boats and are with guests the entire time, whether it’s one day
or five. This gives them a personalized experience,” Bonson explains. Trips include one-day and overnight treks to Hells Canyon Dam and one to five-day fishing expeditions for steelhead,
small-mouth bass and sturgeon.
Late October and early November is an especially exciting time
to book a fishing trip; guests can enjoy the variety of fishing for
bass in the morning and then seven-foot sturgeon after lunch.
Bonson has run the business for twelve years but never grows
64

tired of the river. “You never know what you’re going to see when
you turn the corner,” he says. Bonson is very proud of the fact
that Snake Dancer Excursions has a perfect safety record. Book
your trip today! For complete details, visit snakedancerexcursions.com, or call 509-758-8927.
