Anglers, welcome home. The Fall River—a blue-ribbon trout fishery and a pristine tributary of the Henry’s Fork—flows through your front yard. This stretch is a hidden gem, offering exceptional fishing with far less pressure than neighboring rivers due to limited public access and a strict prohibition against commercial outfitting. The result? A uniquely preserved fishery—yours to enjoy in solitude.

Your private “path” to the river includes approximately 1,500 ft of exclusive riverbank, ideal for morning casts or quiet observation. Pour a cup of coffee, settle into a lawn chair, and watch the fish rise with the sun. This river is home to wild brown, rainbow, and the occasional cutthroat trout. Most catches range from 12 to 16 inches, but 20-inch trout are not uncommon in the deeper runs and pools. Fall River Retreat is ideally located between two boat launches—Highway 32 Bridge (3.5 miles upstream) and Davis Bridge (2 miles downstream)—and includes its own private boat ramp, giving you the flexibility to put in or take out right on the property. For the wade angler, Idaho’s stream access laws allow you to explore miles of fishable water below the high-water mark.

Beyond your private stretch of the Fall River, you’re just minutes from some of the region’s most iconic and productive trout waters: The Henry’s Fork is a world-renowned blue-ribbon trout stream celebrated for its beauty, diversity, and prolific insect hatches—from the explosive salmonfly hatch to the elegant green and grey drakes. With thriving populations of rainbow and brown trout, it offers year-round opportunities for anglers of all skill levels, especially from May through October.

The Warm River offers a serene, spring-fed experience with crystal-clear water, steady temperatures, and abundant aquatic life. Its gentle currents and easy access make it ideal for wading and dry fly fishing. With fewer crowds than other Idaho rivers, it’s a peaceful escape, surrounded by lush forests and rich wildlife. Set against the dramatic backdrop of the Teton Mountains, the Teton River in Teton Valley delivers a breathtaking fly fishing experience. Anglers can target healthy populations of cutthroat, rainbow, brook, and brown trout—particularly during prolific summer hatches of pale morning duns, green drakes, and caddis.
