Gear |
We suggest that your
bring 2 water-resistant duffel bags: One for your clothing
and one for your sleeping bag.
The size of the duffel bag that will pack best
on the pack animals will measure approximately 2 ft. long by
1 ft. tall by 16 in. wide when filled with gear.
One clothing duffel bag, 20 pounds
maximum, per person, please. When packing,
remember that our Wyoming summer weather can vary from hot and
sunny to cold and wet.
Please pack accordingly. |
We can furnish you with
some gear, but if you are planning on doing some serious
fishing, we
do recommend that you bring your own equipment. Whether you
are planning on using spin casting equipment or a fly rod, make
sure your rod will break down to a maximum length of 4 ft. Also,
pack your rod in a durable rod case or tube.
Some recommended lures: Small Panther Martins,
Dare Devils & Mepps. Recommended flies: Small
mosquito, adams, grasshopper, royal coachman & nymphs.
There are some excellent fly shops in Cody, where
you can purchase flies, lures, equipment and licenses when you
arrive.

SOME FINAL NOTES:
|
|
When packing, it is important to include the necessary
clothing and equipment to ensure a safe, enjoyable pack trip. It
is equally important to avoid taking a lot of extra, unnecessary
gear so we can travel as light as possible.
|
|
We do have sleeping bags & pads available if
you do not want to bring your own, although most people do prefer
to bring their own.
|
|
The average time and distance that we will travel
in one day by horseback will vary from 8 to 20 miles, which will
take from 3 to 8 hours, respectively. Please be prepared
to ride. Don't worry if you are an inexperienced rider because
our horses are gentle, well broke and very mountain smart.
|
|
Be prepared to have a great time, see some breathtaking
scenery and experience this exciting adventure into the greater
Yellowstone region of northwest Wyoming.
