The lodge is perfect for family trips, small groups, and corporate getaways.

The Fishing:

This is an amazing tailwater fishery that has some of the best wild brown trout fishing in western U.S. in addition to producing hard fighting rainbows and cutthroat. 18” – 20”+/- is common! Early Spring provides epic streamer fishing, with line snapping takes, and great hopper fishing in the heat of the summer.

Fishing Conservation

Casey Herrod and his team at Double H Outfitters are the only commercial operation allowed to guide on this completely private section of the White River, which means that when you fish with them, you have the entire river all to yourself. The focus on the Double H Ranch is conservation and they take it seriously. They limit the amount of people, and they pay close attention to flows, water temps, and other factors that can affect the native species of trout that inhabit these waters. Because this is such a prolific fishery, Casey and his team are currently working with Trouts Unlimited to continue to improve the river and the habitat so these fish can continue to thrive.
