Although the plan was for us to practice the basics on the property\u2019s on-site casting pond, located right outside the lodge, Bruce balked at the idea of fishing in a stocked pond.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-5 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img width=\"2560\" height=\"1751\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-id=\"3326\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSIyNTYwIiBoZWlnaHQ9IjE3NTEiPjxyZWN0IHdpZHRoPSIxMDAlIiBoZWlnaHQ9IjEwMCUiPjxhbmltYXRlIGF0dHJpYnV0ZU5hbWU9ImZpbGwiIHZhbHVlcz0icmdiYSgxNTMsMTUzLDE1MywwLjUpO3JnYmEoMTUzLDE1MywxNTMsMC4xKTtyZ2JhKDE1MywxNTMsMTUzLDAuNSkiIGR1cj0iMnMiIHJlcGVhdENvdW50PSJpbmRlZmluaXRlIiAvPjwvcmVjdD48L3N2Zz4=\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-post-3290 wp-image-3326\" data-public-id=\"magazine\/fly-fishing-sage-lodge-heather-mikesell\/fly-fishing-sage-lodge-heather-mikesell.jpg\" data-format=\"jpg\" data-transformations=\"c_fill,g_auto,w_1258\/f_webp,q_auto\" data-version=\"1619790860\" data-seo=\"1\" data-size=\"2560 1751\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/res.cloudinary.com\/vacayou\/images\/w_2560,h_1751,c_scale\/c_fill,g_auto,w_1258\/f_webp,q_auto\/v1619790860\/magazine\/fly-fishing-sage-lodge-heather-mikesell\/fly-fishing-sage-lodge-heather-mikesell.jpg?_i=AA 2560w, https:\/\/res.cloudinary.com\/vacayou\/images\/w_300,h_205,c_scale\/c_fill,g_auto,w_1258\/f_webp,q_auto\/v1619790860\/magazine\/fly-fishing-sage-lodge-heather-mikesell\/fly-fishing-sage-lodge-heather-mikesell.jpg?_i=AA 300w, https:\/\/res.cloudinary.com\/vacayou\/images\/w_1024,h_700,c_scale\/c_fill,g_auto,w_1258\/f_webp,q_auto\/v1619790860\/magazine\/fly-fishing-sage-lodge-heather-mikesell\/fly-fishing-sage-lodge-heather-mikesell.jpg?_i=AA 1024w, https:\/\/res.cloudinary.com\/vacayou\/images\/w_768,h_525,c_scale\/c_fill,g_auto,w_1258\/f_webp,q_auto\/v1619790860\/magazine\/fly-fishing-sage-lodge-heather-mikesell\/fly-fishing-sage-lodge-heather-mikesell.jpg?_i=AA 768w, https:\/\/res.cloudinary.com\/vacayou\/images\/w_1536,h_1051,c_scale\/c_fill,g_auto,w_1258\/f_webp,q_auto\/v1619790860\/magazine\/fly-fishing-sage-lodge-heather-mikesell\/fly-fishing-sage-lodge-heather-mikesell.jpg?_i=AA 1536w, https:\/\/res.cloudinary.com\/vacayou\/images\/w_2048,h_1401,c_scale\/c_fill,g_auto,w_1258\/f_webp,q_auto\/v1619790860\/magazine\/fly-fishing-sage-lodge-heather-mikesell\/fly-fishing-sage-lodge-heather-mikesell.jpg?_i=AA 2048w, https:\/\/res.cloudinary.com\/vacayou\/images\/w_1200,h_821,c_scale\/c_fill,g_auto,w_1258\/f_webp,q_auto\/v1619790860\/magazine\/fly-fishing-sage-lodge-heather-mikesell\/fly-fishing-sage-lodge-heather-mikesell.jpg?_i=AA 1200w, https:\/\/res.cloudinary.com\/vacayou\/images\/w_1920,h_1313,c_scale\/c_fill,g_auto,w_1258\/f_webp,q_auto\/v1619790860\/magazine\/fly-fishing-sage-lodge-heather-mikesell\/fly-fishing-sage-lodge-heather-mikesell.jpg?_i=AA 1920w, https:\/\/res.cloudinary.com\/vacayou\/images\/w_1440,h_985,c_scale\/c_fill,g_auto,w_1258\/f_webp,q_auto\/v1619790860\/magazine\/fly-fishing-sage-lodge-heather-mikesell\/fly-fishing-sage-lodge-heather-mikesell.jpg?_i=AA 1440w, https:\/\/res.cloudinary.com\/vacayou\/images\/w_600,h_410,c_scale\/c_fill,g_auto,w_1258\/f_webp,q_auto\/v1619790860\/magazine\/fly-fishing-sage-lodge-heather-mikesell\/fly-fishing-sage-lodge-heather-mikesell.jpg?_i=AA 600w\" data-sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\" data-delivery=\"upload\" onload=\";window.CLDBind?CLDBind(this):null;\" data-cloudinary=\"lazy\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Fly fishing at the on-site casting pond at Sage Lodge<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>So, instead, our guide took us to Yellowstone River. We spent the remainder of the morning wading through the cool sparkling water and casting our lines in the hopes of catching a bite or two. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While neither of us caught anything, it was a relaxing and mindful way to spend the better part of a day.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After grabbing a quick bite to eat, we were off again to explore the valley. We ended up visiting Chico Hot Springs for its two open-air national mineral pools, allowing us to detox. Then Bruce suggested we check out the Old Saloon, which is known for its live music, food and booze.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-yellowstone-river-excursion\">Yellowstone River Excursion<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A highlight of our stay at Sage Lodge was the two-hour luxury scenic float down the Yellowstone River at dusk in a limited-edition custom wooden dory.

Upon checkout, I asked once again, hoping it had turned up.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The bellboy, who had helped us throughout our trip, offered to run back to our room for one last look. I was sure it wasn\u2019t there, so I thanked him and bid him and the front desk staff farewell.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Bruce and I had just finished packing up the car, when he ran out to the parking lot and gifted me with a Yeti water bottle. It wasn\u2019t my lost water bottle, but he wanted me to have it just the same, so I wouldn\u2019t be without one for the rest of the trip.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It was representative of the thoughtful and generous gestures the staff made throughout our stay, which made our visit such a memorable one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-7 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-id=\"14546\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSIxOTIwIiBoZWlnaHQ9IjEyODAiPjxyZWN0IHdpZHRoPSIxMDAlIiBoZWlnaHQ9IjEwMCUiPjxhbmltYXRlIGF0dHJpYnV0ZU5hbWU9ImZpbGwiIHZhbHVlcz0icmdiYSgxNTMsMTUzLDE1MywwLjUpO3JnYmEoMTUzLDE1MywxNTMsMC4xKTtyZ2JhKDE1MywxNTMsMTUzLDAuNSkiIGR1cj0iMnMiIHJlcGVhdENvdW50PSJpbmRlZmluaXRlIiAvPjwvcmVjdD48L3N2Zz4=\" alt=\"Sage-Lodge-Main Lodge Lobby\" class=\"wp-post-3290 wp-image-14546\" data-public-id=\"magazine\/Sage-Lodge-Main-Lodge-Lobby\/Sage-Lodge-Main-Lodge-Lobby.jpg\" data-format=\"jpg\" data-transformations=\"c_fill,g_auto,w_1258\/f_webp,q_auto\" data-version=\"1667239041\" data-seo=\"1\" data-size=\"1920 1280\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/res.cloudinary.com\/vacayou\/images\/c_fill,g_auto,w_1258\/f_webp,q_auto\/v1667239041\/magazine\/Sage-Lodge-Main-Lodge-Lobby\/Sage-Lodge-Main-Lodge-Lobby.jpg?_i=AA 1920w, https:\/\/res.cloudinary.com\/vacayou\/images\/w_300,h_200,c_scale\/c_fill,g_auto,w_1258\/f_webp,q_auto\/v1667239041\/magazine\/Sage-Lodge-Main-Lodge-Lobby\/Sage-Lodge-Main-Lodge-Lobby.jpg?_i=AA 300w, https:\/\/res.cloudinary.com\/vacayou\/images\/w_1024,h_683,c_scale\/c_fill,g_auto,w_1258\/f_webp,q_auto\/v1667239041\/magazine\/Sage-Lodge-Main-Lodge-Lobby\/Sage-Lodge-Main-Lodge-Lobby.jpg?_i=AA 1024w, https:\/\/res.cloudinary.com\/vacayou\/images\/w_768,h_512,c_scale\/c_fill,g_auto,w_1258\/f_webp,q_auto\/v1667239041\/magazine\/Sage-Lodge-Main-Lodge-Lobby\/Sage-Lodge-Main-Lodge-Lobby.jpg?_i=AA 768w, https:\/\/res.cloudinary.com\/vacayou\/images\/w_1536,h_1024,c_scale\/c_fill,g_auto,w_1258\/f_webp,q_auto\/v1667239041\/magazine\/Sage-Lodge-Main-Lodge-Lobby\/Sage-Lodge-Main-Lodge-Lobby.jpg?_i=AA 1536w, https:\/\/res.cloudinary.com\/vacayou\/images\/w_1200,h_800,c_scale\/c_fill,g_auto,w_1258\/f_webp,q_auto\/v1667239041\/magazine\/Sage-Lodge-Main-Lodge-Lobby\/Sage-Lodge-Main-Lodge-Lobby.jpg?_i=AA 1200w, https:\/\/res.cloudinary.com\/vacayou\/images\/w_1440,h_960,c_scale\/c_fill,g_auto,w_1258\/f_webp,q_auto\/v1667239041\/magazine\/Sage-Lodge-Main-Lodge-Lobby\/Sage-Lodge-Main-Lodge-Lobby.jpg?_i=AA 1440w, https:\/\/res.cloudinary.com\/vacayou\/images\/w_600,h_400,c_scale\/c_fill,g_auto,w_1258\/f_webp,q_auto\/v1667239041\/magazine\/Sage-Lodge-Main-Lodge-Lobby\/Sage-Lodge-Main-Lodge-Lobby.jpg?_i=AA 600w\" data-sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" data-delivery=\"upload\" onload=\";window.CLDBind?CLDBind(this):null;\" data-cloudinary=\"lazy\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Experience the cabin-like feel in the Main Lobby at Sage Lodge<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-about-vacayou\">About Vacayou<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>At Vacayou [pronounced VACAY &#8211; YOU], we believe that travel has the power to change lives.
