Team members will not fish together and will fish different stretches of the North Platte River on two different days. Participants must fish with two flies of their own choosing for the entire day; however, different flies may be chosen for day two. A monetary contribution will be assessed for additional fly changes. Three nights lodging, meals, boats, guides, and extras are included in the $4,250 cost per team.
