If you love fly-fishing, incredible scenery, comfortable and clean accomodations, fantastic food and amazing hospitality then do yourself a favor and book some time at Three Rivers Ranch.
I visited with my Dad for a father/son fishing trip in early July. We spent a week at the ranch that seemed to pass to quickly. We stayed in one of the two bedroom cabins that is steps from Robinson Creek, where you can easily pull some small and not so small brookies out of. The beds were incredibly soft and comfortable, and the bathrooms had recently been re-done. If you're familiar with staying at fishing lodges, you know that you don't go for the accomodations usually. This place, though, is one of the nicer lodges I've ever seen or visited. You're definitely not roughin it by staying in one of these cabins. There is even a turn down service at night and a chocolate on your pillow, who has ever heard of that at a fishing lodge?! I don't know if all of the cabins have recently been re-done, however, so you should ask when booking.
The cabins are a very short walk away from the main lodge where we would gather every morning for breakfast, and then again after a day on the water for drinks and then dinner. The bar in the lodge is self serve, so you are free to make up any drink or cocktail you'd like, whenever you'd like. The food was really pretty terrific our entire time there. And the service of the staff, and the proprietor Lonnie are top notch. The property has been in her family for many many years and with many many repeat guests year after year she's doing something right.
They were also building a new fly shop while we were there which I'm sure is now complete. It looked to be about 5 times the size of the old fly shop and I'm sure will be stocked with all kinds of goodies for next season.
The fishing was very good. We fished the Henry's Fork a few days and the South Fork a couple days. You fish from very comfortable drift boats, and we found the guides to all be very knowledgeable and friendly. Weather was perfect, 75-80 degrees and sunny, except for the last day which was overcast. Didn't ruin our fun though as on our last day on the South Fork we must have landed 40 fish including a few whoppers, and they included rainbows, brookies and browns.
This was one of the best trips and places I've visited, so if you're into fly fishing and want a great all around experience out west I'd highly recommend this place.
