Ranch News

In this month’s Ranch News, the focus is on availability for those who want to fish, shoot, or hunt with us this season.

We have good availability for fly-fishing and clays sports with stays in our luxury lodge from now to mid-August. Upland bird hunting is close to being sold out, and elk hunts are sold out.

Read to the end and read about something different:
An opportunity to fly fish for Atlantic salmon on the Miramichi River in New Brunswick, Canada, staying at Sutter’s Salmon Club, the most famous of the salmon fishing clubs on the Miramichi. Perfect for a group of eight to ten.

And we saved the best for last:

Early spring fishing and water levels in the rivers and reservoirs tell us this year’s fishing should be fantastic.

Anglers come from all over the US and the world to fish these famous, pristine waters. Contact us, and we, along with our fishing outfitter partners, will tailor your fishing experience to local conditions during your visit, taking into account your personal preferences, whether you are a lifelong angler or new to the sport.

We have good availability in our lodge for groups fishing or enjoying our world-class clay facilities now through August 15, but the fishing outfitters are selling out rapidly. If you want to fish with the very best outfitters and guides on the best rivers for the time of year, book early.

Our extensive clays facilities are now open. We have good availability until mid-August in the Lodge and on our trap, skeet, grouse butt, crazy quail, five-stand, and what many believe is the world’s best 14-station sporting clays course. Combine a few days of shooting with a few days fishing the iconic fly-fishing rivers of Eastern Idaho for a Cast and Blast.

The season opens on August 15. Cover crops are planted, and we will be ready.

Readers of these Newsletters know that opportunities to hunt upland birds with us sell out each year. 2025 is no different. Open pegs for our signature event, European Style Driven Shooting with Western Sensibilities, are as follows:

August 16:
Three open pegs. All-day driven. Lodge available August 14 to 18.

August 22:
Three open pegs. All-day driven. Lodge available August 21- 22.

August 30:
Two open pegs. Driven plus walk-up. Lodge available August 28 to 31.

August 18, 19, and 25 to 27 are open. Please let us know if you are interested in walk-up hunting with guides and dogs, with a minimum of two, or if you would like to come with a group of six to eight for European-style driven shooting with Western sensibilities on those dates.

We have room for two more for walk-up hunting on September 8-10, with accommodations available in the lodge.

We have open dates from September 12 to 16, and the lodge is available on each of those nights. This is the prime season, which will not last long. We will give preference to groups of six to eight who are shooting driven.

We also have an open date on September 24, with the lodge available that night.

We are otherwise sold out for European-style driven shooting with Western Sensibilities until November, when we will offer all driven days.

Our traditional format for driven shooting involves two drives at each of two locations, a break for elevenses, two more drives at a third location, lunch, and then walk-up hunting with guides and dogs after lunch. The day ends with cocktails and conversation on the deck.

Starting this season, we are also offering all-driven days, with two drives at each of two additional locations in place of walk-up hunts after lunch.

This was a great success when we did this on a trial basis last year. Ten drives at five different locations. We know of no other estate anywhere in the world offering this volume of pheasant shooting. There is more shooting, less walking, and prices significantly below what others charge for less shooting. Our guns love it.

All-Day Driven is arrive by 9:30, coffee, juices, pastries, yogurts, safety briefing and gun fitting for those not bringing their guns, two drives at each of two locations, break for elevenses, two more drives at a third location, lunch, two drives at each of two new locations after lunch, ending with cocktails and conversation on the deck at the end of the day. The cost is $4,500 per peg, which is all-inclusive.

Driven Plus Walk-Up is the same format but with walk-up hunting with guides and well-trained dogs instead of more driven shooting after lunch for $3,900 per peg. Share a peg if that is your preference.

No bird limits, no extra charges for loaner shotguns or ammunition, birds breasted and vacuum-packed for your departure. No extras except for 6% Idaho sales tax and gratuities for the staff.

To meet demand and improve the quality of our shoots, we have already added two new driven shooting locations and are planning to add one or two more this year. More options for shooting make for better shooting experiences. Less travelling between locations and less waiting for birds to arrive.

Book early! The remaining days will not last long.

Long-range precision rifle and personal protection pistol classes will be available in August. If you’re interested, please contact us now.

In the Atlantic salmon fishing world, the Miramichi River in New Brunswick, Canada is legendary. And on that river, the private salmon fishing club Sutter’s is equally famous.

The Club is private, and opportunities to fish there are usually available only to owners and their guests. The owners of Lazy Triple Creek are also owners, with ten others, of Sutter’s. Their week, October 4 to 11, is available this year.

This is an opportunity not to be missed if you want to experience the very best fishing in the world for Atlantic salmon. I hear the grouse hunting is also excellent that time of year. Contact us if you are interested.

That’s all, folks.

Stay safe, stay healthy, stay shooting.
