Teton Springs Lodge & Spa in Victor, Idaho, specializes in fly fishing packages. After all, this hotel is located in what is often called the Mecca of fly-fishing country. Nestled in the village center of Teton Springs Resort, this hotel offers a variety of packages for any adventure imaginable in this recreation rich area.
A fly fish package is often combined with an outing or two as this resort is also home to the Headwaters Golf Course, eastern Idaho’s only Byron Nelson designed course. It’s a modern design and one that affords players spectacular views of the Teton and Big Hole Mountains.
In addition to the 18-hole course, a par 3 course also graces the resort’s grounds and lodge guests are welcome to book tee-times at this private, full-service, club facility.
Anglers have a lot of options on accommodations when bundling fishing trips and other resort and regional activities. The hotel offers spaciously designed units with custom furnishings, an attractive western décor and equipped with full kitchens offering full size appliances and stocked with china, glass and flatware. Guests preferring a break from the demands of the kitchen will enjoy the casual Sage Café, located on the ground floor of the hotel.
Open for breakfast and lunch, the Sage offers a delightful buffet breakfast and an array of soups, salads and sandwiches for lunch. The Headwaters Grille and Fireside Patio, taking center stage in the village center, provides gourmet fare in a lovely mountainside setting. The outside patio provides anglers stunning western sunsets while enjoying specialty cocktails and swapping fish tales of “the one that got away.” There are many options for dining before and after your day on the river, in and around Teton Springs Lodge.
In addition to arranging for fly fishing on the region’s premier rivers such as the Snake, the Henry’s Fork, and the Teton, to name a few, there’s a lot more fun to squeeze in on this trip. In addition to Headwaters golf, packages can include golf, wildlife viewing tours, white water rafting, day trips to Jackson Hole for its limitless selection of eclectic retail shops and world-renowned art galleries. Day trips to Grand Teton and Yellowstone National Park top the list of trips that should be on everyone’s agenda. The Guest Service staff at Teton Springs can even arrange for guests to hike and explore the magnificent Grand Teton Mountains while they’re here, and for many, that’s on the list of things to do. The Exum guides in Grand Teton National Park are the local experts and claim the honor proudly of being the oldest guide service in The United States.
After an exhilarating day enticing a brown trout into the boat with the seasoned guides and flyfishing outfitters from WorldCast Anglers, or sampling one of the many activities du jour, Teton Springs guests will inevitably find themselves in downtown Victor. More often than not, food is the draw. Directly next door to WorldCast Anglers is Big Hole BBQ. This immensely popular restaurant is a true American story of entrepreneurship, grit and determination. A Victor husband & wife loved BBQ and not surprising, a good brisket or ribs smoked to perfection was not a specialty in Teton Valley. After tireless experimenting with a used smoker, well, the “rest is history” as they say. Big Hole BBQ has earned and now consistently enjoys a stellar reputation built over the past nine years. What many fondly called “the BBQ shack in Victor” in its early days of operation, has gone through many stages and a few remodels along the way. It’s still small, casual and definitely charming, and the word is out that a BBQ connoisseur doesn’t have to travel down south for unforgettable barbeque. While it’s not the only reason to take a look-see around Victor, Big Hole BBQ could very well be the main attraction in this charming unassuming town.
