We operate anywhere from Cody to Thermopolis to Ten Sleep. Outside of Cody you will fish the beautiful Shoshone River. Stand in water that is flowing from the world-famous Yellowstone National Park. The water is fast and the walking is rough and rocky. We suggest a float trip if you don't think you're capable of handling the terrain. Outside of Thermopolis you will fish the historic Bighorn River. Take in the beautiful views of the juniper-filled red cliffs while hooking into fish that can range well over 20 inches in length. Though the terrain is mild, we believe a float trip would give you the best opportunity here. Outside of Ten Sleep you will fish within the canyon walls of the gorgeous Big Horn Mountain range. The terrain is steep, rocky, and slick. We do not offer float trips here, so we suggest a good pair of boots and a walking stick for those up for the walk.

Can I bring my own gear?
We always welcome anyone who would like to use their own equipment during their trip. The guide will always have plenty of flies and tackle as well as spare rods and reels.
What time of year is the best fishing?
In general, spring and fall, but there are certain locations on the Shoshone River that provide incredible fishing in July.
Are we able to have three people in a boat if only two are fishing?
Your safety is our number one concern. With that said, there is a maximum of two people in the boat excluding the guide.
Am I allowed to bring my dog on the boat?
We do understand that some of you are traveling with dogs and do not have arrangements in place for when you go on your fishing trip. We do allow well-behaved dogs to accompany you during the trip. Please remember you are responsible for all damage the dog may cause during your trip.
