The solution to any problem, work, love, money, whatever is to go fishing. And the worst, the problem, the longer the trip should be. John Girok, RIP. Today's guest has lived that pursuit for generations from a family legacy that began in 1919 when his great-grandfather guided early Yellowstone travelers through Idaho's wild waters

to today's thriving Teton Valley Lodge, Brian Barry has spent a lifetime studying rivers, boats,

and the people drawn to them. In this episode, we're going to explore the story of one of the

West's oldest fly fishing lodges, the evolution of the Teton River fishery, and how a fourth

generation outfitter is keeping craftsmanship, conservation, and community at the evolution of the Teton River Fishery and how a fourth generation outfitter is keeping

craftsmanship, conservation, and community at the heart of modern fly fishing.

Hey, how's it going?

I'm Dave, host of the Traveled Podcast series where we're exploring waters of the West, people,

and the places that define the spirit of fly fishing.

Brian Barry of Teton Valley Lodge

joins us to share his family's

100-year connection to Idaho's waters

from wooden drift boats

to the rebirth of native cutthroat

in the Teton and why the Teton

remains one of the most underrated trout rivers

in the west.

This episode is presented by Visit Idaho

and Yellowstone Teton territory home to some of the most storied scenic waters in the American West.

All right, are you ready to jump into this one? It's a good one. We're going to get into all the history. We're going to talk boats. We're going to talk rafts, drift boats, lodges, fishing. We got it all. We're excited for this one. Here he is, Brian Berry.

You can find him at Teton Valley Lodge.com. How you doing, Brian? I'm doing great, man. Thanks for having me. Yeah, yeah, thanks for setting some time aside to talk fishing, talk east Idaho. I think we're going to touch on some of the famous in great rivers. I've fished some of them. I've actually now fished the Henry's Fork, fish the South Fork, had some good success on both of them. And maybe we'll touch on the Teton. That was one I know when we were up there last. We talked about it. I think one of the guys that was on the trip headed out there for a day. So I don't know about that. We're going to talk about that, but also the lodge you run that's been doing great for a while,

the kind of Teton Valley Lodge.
