Owners & Management
Unsurpassed. Western hospitality.
For generations, those of us who call the Western United States home have embraced hospitality as how you conducted yourself in life and in business. At Bighorn River Lodge, you’ll experience a culture of hospitality, fair play, loyalty, and respect for each other and the land.
Your hosts, the Rolph family.
In April of 2007, Dee and Darrell Rolph along with their son Cody bought the Bighorn River Lodge from the previous owners and founders, Phil and Patty Gonzalez. With a lifelong shared passion for fly fishing, they had a vision to renovate the existing lodge and create a location where they, as well as others, could enjoy the world class fishing of the Bighorn River.
With a lot of hard work from Cody and a dedicated staff, the Bighorn River Lodge has become THE premier lodge on the Bighorn River.



Erin and Jeremy
The lodge welcomes Erin and Jeremy in 2025 as they step into management after the retirement of the Gehweilers.
Natives to Montana and having a family connection to the river, Erin and Jeremy have been visiting the Bighorn for over 20 years and have developed a fondness for the valley, the river, and the lodge. Their extensive background in hospitality, attention to detail, easy-going attitudes, and love of the outdoors make them a great match with the lodge. Erin and Jeremy, along with their dog Abby, bring welcoming smiles and a desire to make all guests feel as at home at the lodge as they do.
Though they are not expert anglers, they love to get a line in the water as much as possible and look forward to honing their fishing skills with the expert guides at the lodge and other knowledgeable folks throughout the valley. They are excited to begin their new life at the lodge on the Bighorn River!
