Water bottle / canteen (Drink lots of water. Camp and fishing spots are above 6000 ft. - it is easy to become dehydrated). Also consider water bottles with filters or life straws.
If you are driving, consider bringing a camp chair. We have them at camp but may not have enough to go around.
Alcoholic beverages are permitted at Anglers’ Basecamp. This is a special exception just for our camp. If you are flying, we will stop at a fly shop and liquor store before driving to camp. Refrigeration is available.
NOTE: If you are flying and have concerns about the amount of gear you can take, you can ship items to Camp Buffalo Bill – Yellowstone Anglers’ Basecamp (c/o your name), 870 N Fork Hwy, Cody, WY 82414. Several people did this last year, and it worked out very well.
Gear
Three to seven weight rods, reels & lines are a nice mix. If you are flying and are limited, then a 5 & 6 weight will do nicely.
