We’ve been hosting western fly fishing groups since 2005 at several locations in the greater Yellowstone region. We’ve been going to TroutHunter in Island Park, Idaho every September since 2011 so it felt like a homecoming when we returned last month with a group. We’ve come to think of the owners, guides, fly shop staff, […]
Wrap Up From our 2018 Trip to TroutHunter on the Henry’s Fork
It was another spectacular week in September at TroutHunter on the Henry’s Fork. This was our 8th year hosting a group there and we’ve come to think of all the staff and guides there as family. In fact we even arrived early this year to attend the wedding of one our guides who has become […]
A Look Back at our TroutHunter Trip, September 2017
It was another banner week for us at TroutHunter on the Henry’s Fork in Yellowstone Country! This year was among the coldest weeks we’ve spent in Idaho in September, but the fishing was superb.

Wrap Up of Our Trip to the Henry’s Fork & Yellowstone Park
We’ve been back home in the Smokies a few days but I’ve been recovering from an illness that started before our trip and only seemed to get worse with every day on the water. After a few days of intense recovery aided by a shot at the doctor’s office and prescription antibiotics, I think I […]
Update from Yellowstone Country
Our group has settled in to the routine here at TroutHunter. We’re eating breakfast around 7:30 and the guides are meeting up with the anglers around 8:30. Mornings are very cool with some frost so there’s no rush since the fishing tends to pick up as the day warms. So far we’ve had anglers fish […]
