Fishing & Floating in Wyoming & Black Hills

Ahhh, ...on the water, by the water, in the water - it's all good. There's something unequaled about the effect that water has on us. For the casual floaters or the fishing buffs among us, we offer many maps and books to enrich and inform you of the waters you may be entering. We carry Flyfisher's Guides by Wilderness Adventures Press, paddling and canoe camping books . For Montana we stock many river and stream maps, from the Montana Afloat series for all the major rivers, to the Rocky Mountain Survey maps of the Absaroka Beartooth area. Idaho's Wild and Scenic Salmon River and Montana's Wild and Scenic Upper Missouri River are certainly worth a look. So check your tackle box, pack the bug spray and hit the water!
