September 5, 2017 By: Erin Block

  • Sage is building a fly-fishing lodge in Emigtrant, Montana. Sage Lodge will offer easy access to Yellowstone National Park, and will “lead with fly-fishing,” says Tag Kleiner, Sage’s vice president of marketing, “that’s the heart and soul of Sage, but it’s more about the Montana outdoor experience.” Sage Lodge is slated to open in Summer of 2018.
