Some Money Saving Tips if You Want to Fly

• For those who are interested in flying, we will be providing a shuttle service between Billings-Logan Airport in Billings, Montana and camp, for an additional cost of $50 per shuttle direction. Airline ticket prices are frequently much cheaper and there are many more choices of airlines that service Billings.
   
• If you do choose to fly into Billings, we would ask that you cluster your arrival times in Billings around 12:00 noon plus or minus an hour or two so that pick up is most efficient.
   
• You may also find that flying in on a Saturday is cheaper than flying on a Sunday. The money you save flying on a Saturday may justify making a hotel reservation in Billings for Saturday night. There will be a shuttle service from Billings to camp on Sunday.

Fishing Opportunities & Surrounding Scenery

North Fork Shoshone

The Shoshone River is one of the finest blue ribbon, freestone trout fisheries in the country.  The 52 mile stretch of the Shoshone River between Cody, Wyoming and the east entrance to Yellowstone is referred to locally as the North Fork. Teddy Roosevelt called it "the most scenic 52 miles in America."  Native Yellowstone cutthroat trout, rainbow trout, brook trout, brown trout, and mountain whitefish can all be caught from the North Fork and many of its tributaries.
