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. The 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. We will have a van and driver in Billings on Saturday to pick you up and take you to your hotel, fly shops, fishing, dinner, and other activities. Then we will shuttle you to camp on Sunday. If you do decide to fly into Billings on Saturday, please choose a hotel/motel that is close to the Cabela's at, 4550 King Ave E, Billings, MT 59101.
• The drive from camp to Billings is about 2.75 hours, so we ask that you cluster departure times around 11:00 AM or after so that you don't have to get up at 3:00 AM to get to a departing flight.

Participants should bring:

· Sleeping Bag or Sheets/Blankets
· Personal Toiletries & towel
· Fishing Tackle
· A detailed packing guide will be supplied to all those who register for the camp.

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.
