A Once in a Lifetime Experience

Idaho Falls fly fishing guru John Rivera to teach casting and fishing techniques on site.    Practice on The Meadow pond or in the river tributary bordering the ranch. 

Bamboo or graphite rod blanks hand fashioned by John Rivera that you will build out and customize into your own, fully-functioning rod (includes ferrules, guides, handle, rod sleeve, tube, etc.).  Receive personal instruction to craft your legacy fishing rod.

Guided fly fishing trip on the South Fork of the Snake River in which you can fish with your new rod.

Stay on site at the Snake River Meadow Ranch House or one of the cabins.  Meals are taken care of and included in the package.

All-in Cost for the Rod Building Retreat is $2,000 to $3,500 per person, depending on graphite versus bamboo rod and single versus double occupancy.
