The Henry's Fork of The Snake River

Henry's Fork of the Snake River Detailed Info

Named the favorite river in the U.S. by members of Trout Unlimited, the Henry Fork offers 50 miles of highly varied water. The spring creek sections of Harriman Park and the fast water of the Box Canyon are world famous, but guides can show you lesser-known downstream sections that will open your eyes. This river offers the ultimate challenge to sophisticated anglers and also is very productive for inexperienced flyfishers. It can be fished both by wading and floating in a driftboat. The Henry's Fork runs are spring fed and moderated by a reservoir, so they run clear throughout the season. You can see rising rainbows and walk down to fish them right behind the lodge.

The Madison River

The Madison River Detailed Info

The Madison is only 45 minutes away, just over the Continental Divide in Montana. Many of our clients don't realize that the Much of the best water on the Madison River is as close to our shop as it is to West Yellowstone, Montana. The Madison has been called "the longest riffle in the world" because the entire river from Hebgen Dam downstream to Ennis Lake is fast pocket water.

The South Fork of the Snake River

The South Fork of the Snake Detailed Info

Yellowstone National Park

More Yellowstone River Info

If you had the entire summer to fish, you still couldn't come close to fishing fish all of the water in Yellowstone Park. In addition to the famous rivers, there are plenty of small streams and lakes in the park. There is something for everyone, especially if you like to work in the back country and get away from the crowd. The variety also provides great fishing opportunities at any time of the season, depending on the water you fish.

Yellowstone Park also provides an excellent opportunity to combine some sight seeing along with some great trout fishing. The best times to view the wildlife and geological wonders of the Park are early in the season, before the crowds arrive in July, and after Labor Day.

The Regional Lakes

More Regional Lake Info

There are many lakes and reservoirs in our close vicinity which offer anglers an excellent opportunity. You can cast to rising rainbows and browns on Hebgen Lake or strip leeches for big hybrid (cross between rainbow and cutthroat) trout on Henry's Lake. The primary large bodies of water to pay close attention to are: Hebgen Lake, Henry's Lake, and Island Park Reservoir. Island Park Reservoir is a very active and widely used. Please give us a call if you are considering traveling to the Reservoir.

Hebgen Lake

Hebgen Lake is home of the "gulpers," rainbows and browns that cruise the surface gobbling mayflies on summer mornings. You can use float tubes and canoes here for a stealthy approach. We often fish Hebgen with dries until midday, then go to a river for a different experience in the afternoon.

Henry's Lake

Henry's Lake is the most popular flyfishing lake in Idaho and home to the state record brookie. You can fish for big brookies in the fall and rainbow-cutthroat hybrids up to 6-7 lbs. on sinking lines.

Island Park Reservoir

Island Park Reservoir is a popular flyfishing lake in Idaho. There are multiple recreational opportunities and such it can be difficult fishing at times.
