Planning Trip - Info needed

[riverdog]

I know this is the Idaho board but Westslope nailed it about you guys not wanting to go back to Missouri and fishing over by Cody, Wyomong. I haven't been back to Missouri but 2 or 3 times in 20 years. The article mention the forks of the Shosone and Clark's Fork of the Yellowstone 2 of the places I recommmended. The North Fork of the Shosone has easy access and plenty of dispersed camping. The Clark's Fork of the Yellowstone can be fished that time of year South of Cooke City Montana back in Wyoming. As pretty as YNP without the restrctions or crowds. Plenty of places to camp away from others and easy to wade. I'd skip the hike down to the Canyon (middle section) of this river that time of year as the water will still be too high and fast to wade. At the mouth of the canyon is good camping and fishing as long as the water is down just a bit. Robeson Creek in Idaho is a nice place to camp but the fishing isn't very good unless you like catching stunted brookies all day. You could look at the website and talk to the guys in the store when you come out at Tim Wade/ North Fork Anglers ( hope I remembered the name right) in Cody for more info if you decide to try this area. I wouldn't plan on canoing on these rivers. Our rivers are much faster with more rapid loss of elevation than the Ozarks. I've slept on some of those gravels bars on overnight trips as a teen and as fun as that was I promise you you won't miss it during your trip out here.
