Friends and Fun

Platte River Fly Shop
Seen on ESPN2 and PBS Outdoor programs, this fly shop is one of Wyoming's premiere shops, and a must stop destination for all anglers wanting the latest information on hatches, conditions, and the right equipment before they head out to explore the waters of Central Wyoming. Notorious as catch and release fishermen, most of the folks at the shop are also conservation oriented, as their livelihood depends on the health and vitality of not only the river that they ply their trade on, but of the environment as a whole. Active in Wyoming Fly Casters, these folks helped bring about the Cardwell Fishing Access, and through that, helped restore several miles of barren river bottom back to life, and to what will most assuredly be a blue ribbon fisherey in a few years. Stop by and check out their turn of the century shop, formerly two one room schoolhouses from the Arminto area, and the 1st building to be on the register of historic places in Natrona County, and get the latest fishing report from the river.

Wyoming Wear
Wyoming Wear makes great socks. Whether you ski, fish, hunt or any other outdoor sport that makes your toes wish they were inside by the fire, Wyoming Wear has the sock that will keep 'em warm and comfortable and most importantly, dry.

Flyfisherman Online/Virtual Flyshop
This site is a great resource for those whose emergency vehichle kit has more fishing gear than life preserving items. A great bulletin board on this site makes passing windy days off the water a little more bearable. A fountain of information that will make even the seasoned angler a little wiser, Flyfisherman online has past and present patterns to tie, as well as informative articles and hot spots to dream about.

The Continental Divide Trail Society
The Continental Divide Trail Society has been working since 1978 to create and improve the Continental Divide National Scenic Trail -- nearly 3000 miles through the Rocky Mountains from Canada to Mexico. The Society's mission is to help in the planning, development, and maintenance of the CDT as a silent trail and to assist users plan and enjoy their experiences along the route. The Society is a grassroots organization, with about 250 members in nearly every State and several foreign countries. It is funded entirely by membership support and sales of books and maps. The Society, which does not seek or obtain grants from governmental agencies or foundations, is an independent advocate and resource for the hikers of today and tomorrow.
