Excellent lodge, would give six stars if I could. Location--excellent. 15 minutes from town and a very large, very nice Wal-Mart. Location on the river is great. Nice, sloping bank access that's relatively safe (it's still a river though...) for kids, with a nice gravel bank. The current right at the lodge isn't all that strong compared to other places. The facilities are in great shape. I thought the carpet was brand new, but they told me it's years old--they just care for it all very well. The fishing right at the lodge is great--some of our best fish came from the bank at the lodge. The people are wonderful--very nice, very quick with advice. The boat rental is very nice to have, if you stay long it's nice to be able to fish different places. Boats are well maintained, they said they replace motors every 3 years and I believe it. Electric start, which is really nice drifting the river. If you damage a motor (which is likely to happen for first timers on the river), they are extremely reasonable about fees. This is one area I thought they could use to pad their bill, and take it from personal experience from someone who has a boat at home and knows the expense of them--they are extremely reasonable about it. Multiple guides with different options for fly, spin, bait fishing. The only thing I can think of to improve is I wish they had a mechanism to return the boats after 5 PM. Pay extra or something to be able to return them at sundown or so. When the evening hatch is on upriver 5:00 comes pretty early. If you are a hard-core big brown fisherman, especially from the bank, you may want to stay a bit further upriver, but there are browns here, one of our biggest came from the bank at the lodge. If the river's low it's hard to get to the catch & release area up by the dam, and if that's your preference you probably have more experience with the area and probably aren't reading reviews..... So many options for families or first time visitors who want to have options--the pool, playscape, swimming in the river (it's cold, yes!), fishing from bank, fishing from boat, fishing with a guide (fly, spin, bait, just tell them what you want)s, plus not a bad drive into town--make this an excellent place to stay. Pics are fish from the lodge.…
