Three Rivers Ranch is a family run fly-fishing destination neighboring the Targhee National Forest. We are an hour’s drive northeast of Idaho Falls, Idaho. From complimentary airport transfers to return trip drop-off, your every need is seen to by our efficient and amiable staff.
The Three Rivers Ranch Lodge dining room is a historic building in its own right. The lodge itself, dates back to the early 1930’s when Fred and Berta Lewies, Lonnie’s grandparents homesteaded in Warm River and started a family business. Back then, the lodge served as the base for Fred’s store and the Warm River Inn. During this time the railroad ran right through the lodge property with tourists on their way to Yellowstone National Park.
In 1974 the lodge was refurbished to keep the same charm as the or

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 unwinding while you sip an after dinner brandy.
Species
Rainbow trout, Brown trout
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. Three Rivers’ Orvis fly shop carri View more...es an ample supply for all contingencies. You pay only for those you use.
Three Rivers 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.

The Homestead
The original homestead was built around 1908 by Lonnie’s Grandparent’s Fred & Berta Lewies. It not only served as the summer home for the Lewies family, the porch was used as a dining area for tourists visiting the region and Yellowstone Park. It was partially restored in the 1980’s by Lonnie’s father Harry Lewies, to which Lonnie completed restoration in 2012.
The Homestead is located across the Robinson Creek foot-bridge on the property. It has an open floor plan with one queen bed & two twin beds, a sitting area, one bathroom, and a walk in closet.
