River Lodge is situated on the Henry's Fork of the Snake River, a renowned fly-fishing destination. While the lodge itself is open year-round, the prime fly-fishing season on the Henry's Fork typically runs from late spring through fall.

The specific timing for peak fishing can vary, but generally, June through October offers the most consistent action, with different insect hatches dictating the best approach each month. Early season can be excellent for larger trout seeking to replenish themselves after winter, while summer brings prolific hatches and active fish. Fall offers a beautiful backdrop and a chance at larger, more reclusive trout before the winter sets in.
