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, mountain whitefish, brook trout and brown trout can all be caught from public land access sites along its entire border.
