Freshwater Fly Fishing Travel

With over 100 years of experience operating in the Teton Valley, this is a rocky mountain lodge that should be high on everyone's list.
With access to over 200 miles of fishable water on the Teton River, Henry’s Fork River, and South Fork of the Snake River, there is an endless amount of options for every type of angler. Whether you want to rip the rapids in the “Narrows” of the Teton River, enjoy the famous salmon fly hatch on the Henry’s Fork, or catch giant browns on the South Fork River, there is plenty of variety while fishing at TVL. This area also offers some of the most prolific dry fly hatches in the lower 48 and gives you consistent opportunities for large trout on the surface!
Owned and operated by Brian and Joselle Berry, the lodge has been family owned and operated since 1919. Brian’s great-grandfather, Alma Kunz, started guiding in the Teton Valley over 100 years ago. With four generations of experience, Teton Valley Lodge offers the true Idaho fly fishing experience.

FISHING
With over 25 different sections of river fishing on three blue ribbon fisheries - Teton River, South Fork, and the Henry’s Fork - near Driggs, Idaho, anglers can expect to fly fish on a different stretch of river every day. This is a dry fly fisherman’s paradise.
The Teton River has one of the strongest holds of native cutthroat trout found in the West. Each day presents an opportunity for anglers to catch the fish of a lifetime.
The South Fork is one of the most prolific rivers in all of the western United States, with astonishing fish numbers per square mile and equally impressive invertebrate numbers per square meter. You’re sure to hit some kind of hatch during your stay.
And at six thousand feet above sea-level, the Henry’s Fork is renowned for its world-class dry fly fishing, including an unreal Salmon Fly hatch each spring.

TRAVEL
Reaching Teton Valley Lodge is straightforward, with a few well-timed options depending on your preference for convenience or scenery. The closest and most commonly used airport is Jackson Hole Airport (JAC), located inside Grand Teton National Park. From Jackson, it’s approximately a 1 hour 15 minute drive to the lodge. Guests will cross the scenic Teton Pass, a dramatic mountain route with sweeping views—beautiful, but winding. Rental cars are readily available, and the lodge can often assist with shuttle recommendations and coordination.
An alternative is flying into Idaho Falls Regional Airport (IDA), about 1 hour 30 minutes away. This route is typically flatter and easier to navigate, especially for those less comfortable with mountain driving. If guests prefer to charter a private flight, you can fly directly into Driggs, Idaho at the private airport.
WHEN TO GO / SEASONALITY
Teton Valley Lodge operates from late May through October, with each part of the season offering distinct fishing opportunities.
Early Season :
The late spring months can be an excellent time of year to visit Idaho. After a long hibernation through the winter, water temps start to rise to ideal feeding temperatures and trout across the state will gorge as they begin the Idaho summer.
Middle Season :
June through August is considered peak season and offers the best dry fly action of the year. As the runoff starts to drop during early June, the prolific hatches will begin as well as exceptional streamer fishing. Terrestrials really start to go off as the season moves into late July and early August.
Late Season :
The late season at Teton Valley Lodge accounts for some of the best streamer fishing of the year. The brown trout are getting ready to spawn and become more eager to chase stripped or swung flies.
