idaho idaho the rivers, streams and lakes of Idaho are some of the most productive – and most beautiful – in the entire United States. And in this particular region, there is no other area that exceeds Eastern Idaho and Yellowstone Country in its ability to provide such an amazing level of diversity and opportunity for fishermen. The Henry’s Fork of the Snake River, the South Fork of the Snake River, the rivers and lakes of Yellowstone National Park, and other area lakes such as Henry’s Lake and Island Park Reservoir all offer endless prospects for angling exploration, discovery and on-water adventure. Henry’s Fork guru Rene Harrop once wrote that the mention of Yellowstone Country will “instantly stir the blood of the adventuresome angler for whom fly fishing holds far more significance than a simple recreational activity. As a defining term, fly fishing falls sadly short of describing this mystical realm of nature and living splendor of this area, where trout are pursued with an intensity and reverence that exceeds the common.” Yellow Dog offers a number of lodging and outfitting options in the eastern part of the state and can easily arrange all types of packages and trip itineraries – from basic cabin accommodations with daily guiding to all-inclusive, five-star lodging packages. With the great Idaho line-up that we’ve assembled, combined with the experience that the Yellow Dog staff has in working and guiding this part of the country, we believe we offer the very best options for fishing these world-class waters. Yellow Dog’s U.S. West program director Shaun Lawson – the son of Henry’s Fork pioneer Mike Lawson – quite literally grew up on the banks of these famous rivers. There is perhaps no better person in the entire booking business to help you arrange and plan your next trip to this part of the country. idaho HENRY’S FORK LODGE [Last Chance, Idaho] Henry’s Fork Lodge offers some of the most high-end accommodations and amenities found anywhere in the Yellowstone region.
