Service beyond mere “satisfaction” ! Have you ever wondered what river outfitters do on their day off??? Dennis and Dee Fredrickson, owners of Salmon River Challenge, enjoying an afternoon "vacation"!

A Little Bit About Us

We are very honored to be your river adventure hosts. Dee's family (Pat and Shari Marek) founded SRC nearly 28 years ago. We are continuing the Pat and Shari's tradition of excellence (and...yes, we did "negotiate" for most of Shari's recipe's). Both of us feel very fortunate to have received guidance from her parents!  Through hard work with integrity, Pat and Shari have established SRC as a respected business.

Dennis was raised in Grangeville and was blessed to have spent years with his father learning to fish for Steelhead and Bass on the Salmon River.  Dee was raised right here in Riggins (and consistently out-fishes Dennis!)  We did, however, spend several years "moving up the corporate ladder" and lived in Oregon and California.  Several years ago we moved from California to Boise, and then several years ago moved to Riggins.  Six years ago, we began to help Pat and Shari transition into retirement.

We have been married for 26 years.  We have two wonderful children, Kaitlin (21) who is a Senior at University of Idaho, and Joseph, our 9 year-old 3rd grader!! 

For our previous customers...thank you for your continued support.  We look forward each year to see those familiar faces.  For those of you "meeting" us for the first time...we feel privileged for the opportunity to work with you to provide memories for you, your family and your friends.
