Accommodations & Meals

The lodge’s bar of polished logs and weathered wood is a natural setting for making new friends and for catching up with old ones. Wide board floors and Oriental rugs, leather furniture, all tied together by an immense coffee table, create the perfect atmosphere for swapping stories while you sip an after dinner brandy.

Guests stay in one of seven beautiful cabins along Robinson Creek. Each cabin is within short walking distance from the lodge dining room and the well outfitted fly shop. Everything you need to relax and unwind after an exciting day of fishing is waiting for you!

All cabins have private porches with Adirondack chairs for lounging, reading or reminiscing about your exciting day on the river. They are each furnished with western antiques, comfy overstuffed comforters and pillows as well as electric heat. Each cabin has a private bath with shower, in room hairdryer and coffee maker.

The cabins are meticulously maintained by daily maid service as well as nightly bed turndown. There is ample storage for clothing and gear, as well as personal rod racks outside the cabin. The staff and guides earnestly strive to enhance the enjoyment of your stay by catering to your every need, resulting in a special blend of genuine hospitality and meticulous attention to detail. Located across Robinson Creek is a separate guest facility, Robinson Lodge. It is equipped with four private guest rooms, two with balconies overlooking Robinson Creek with spectacular views. Complete with full kitchen, large gathering room with western antiques, pool table and large front porch, it is suitable for groups of 6-8. All meals are still served in the main lodge, however upon special request, we can arrange for your group to enjoy private dining.

If you would like to do an overnight float trip, the outpost camp is available on the South Fork of the Snake.  This camp accommodates a fishing party of up to eight (min. 4).  The camp staff prepares hearty campfire dishes.  A great experience!

Fishing

The fishing offered at the Ranch is on the best rivers in the American West if not the world, with plenty of fish on which to test your skills. Large trout lurk in every river and stream you will fish though, except on rare occasions, to hook a trout of more than 18 inches requires that you forsake some action in favor of trophy hunting.

Tackle requirements will vary somewhat from angler to angler, depending on the time of year and the style of fishing you favor. Clients will be briefed in detail regarding their tackle needs and options in plenty of time to prepare for the trip. Fly fishing is emphasized, with on-stream instruction offered at no extra charge. Guests need not even concern themselves with having the right flies for prevailing conditions. The fly shop carries an ample supply for all contingencies. You pay only for those you use.

This outiffer is extraordinary in that fishing days are arranged to satisfy the desire of each angler. Should you want to float every day, you float. If you want to spend a week stalking selective or large trout, then stalk you will. Most guests split their time between wading and floating, thus enjoying the best of both worlds. Options are nearly limitless. The blue-ribbon rivers and streams running through ranch property or located just a stone’s throw from the main gate are among America’s best.

Every guide is a veteran angler and is part of the family. They know the waters from top to bottom and precisely how to fish them, regardless of the time of year. Whether you are fishing as a single angler, among a large group, or have special needs these guides work together to make your fishing experience more pleasurable.

Fishing Information:  You could probably fish here for an entire season and never overlap your fishing areas!

All told, the lodge is licensed to guide fly fishing guests on more than 16 legendary trout streams including the Railroad Ranch on the Henry’s Fork of the Snake, South Fork of the Snake, Gallatin, Yellowstone (in the park), and Firehole. Fifteen different floats are available. The guides coordinate the weekly schedule so guests can cover the most productive stretches where prolific hatches tease trout to the surface and conditions are best.

Drives to the fishing range in length from 10 minutes up to an hour and a half.  The longer drives are mostly to Yellowstone Rivers.  If you do not want to drive a long distance, there is plenty of fishing within a half hours drive.

Each morning, you will ride with your guide in his vehicle with your boat in tow to drive to the fishing.  Float rafts and drift boats are used unless you are wade fishing.

You will be floating from McKenzie and skiff River boats, catarafts, or wading.

The Waters: Henry’s Fork of the Snake River, Fall River, South Fork of the Snake River, Teton River, Warm River, Robinson Creek, Hebgen Lake.  Madison, Gallatin, Yellowstone and Firehole Rivers also licensed by the lodge.

Overnight on the Snake River:

The canyon section of the South Fork is one of the last great overnight scenic trips in the west. Your award winning guides and staff will provide an overnight camping experience that can only compare to a night at the Ritz. The camp sits in the deep canyon surrounded by towering cottonwoods. An abundant variety of wildlife inhabits the canyon, Bald eagles, peregrine falcons, and plenty of moose to name a few.

Your day starts with your departure from the Ranch around 8:00 a.m. You will be required to pack an overnight bag with necessities of a personal nature. Your staff will take care of getting your bag to and from the camp.

The South Fork has a population of well over 7000 fish per mile, with wild cutthroats averaging 14 to 16 inches, as well as rainbows and hybrids. You will also find brown trout that can grow much larger, with a fish or two more than 10 pounds. The South Fork was the home to the Idaho State record brown trout weighing in at 26 lbs. Although the South Fork is best known for its dry-fly fishing, streamer fishing, casting big flies undercut banks or dead drifting a bead head nymph, along the numerous gravel bars can be very effective. Whether you choose only to drift or to stop along the numerous gravel bars to wade some of the smaller channels, your day on the South Fork will be truly memorable.

Activities
