North Fork Shoshone River is a public river in Park County, Wyoming, managed by Wyoming Game and Fish Department. You can fish it on a Wyoming fishing licence plus a Conservation Stamp. Wyoming grants NO public right to wade or walk a private streambed — legal access is where the water crosses public land, a WGFD walk-in or Public Access Area, or a bridge right-of-way. Check current signage. Public access confirmed via WGFD Fishing Guide water.
A Wyoming tailwater trout fishery (the North Platte's Grey Reef and Miracle Mile below Alcova and Pathfinder, the Green below Fontenelle, the Bighorn below Boysen) — cold, regulated flows growing very large wild rainbow and brown trout, some of the best big-trout water in the Rockies.
It runs roughly 64 miles through the Cody Region (Bighorn Basin & Yellowstone Country) region. Anglers here mostly fish for brook trout, brown trout, lake trout, mountain whitefish; rbt x cut hybrid, rainbow trout, yellowstone cutthroat trout are also on record. Live flow and gauge height come from the North Fork Shoshone River At Wapiti, Wy USGS station shown below. The nearest other mapped waters on PiscaMaps are June Creek and Moss Creek (Bighorn Basin).

Night fishing: No statewide night-fishing closure in Wyoming; some waters have seasonal closures (spring spawning, winter) and the cutthroat-conservation and trophy waters post their own rules — check the current Wyoming Fishing Regulations.
Boats: Wyoming's big reservoirs (Flaming Gorge, Boysen, Seminoe, Pathfinder, Glendo, Buffalo Bill, Keyhole) take trailered boats via a state-park or BLM ramp (AIS decal + inspection required); mountain lakes are hike-in or car-top and rivers are drift-boat, raft or wade.
Bank & bivvy camping: Wyoming is roughly half federal land -- dispersed camping is allowed on most BLM and Forest Service ground along these waters, plus developed campgrounds on nearly every reservoir.
Tackle: The general Wyoming trout creel is 6 (only 1 over 20 inches), but many waters carry reduced limits, slot limits, artificial-only or catch-and-release rules -- cutthroat-conservation streams, Blue Ribbon water and the tailwaters especially. Check the current Wyoming Fishing Regulations.

Anyone 14 or older needs a Wyoming fishing licence — the resident annual is about $27, the non-resident annual about $102 (Wyoming's non-resident fee is one of the highest), with non-resident daily (~$14) and 5-day options. A Conservation Stamp (about $21.50, valid multiple years) is also required. Wyoming residents 65 and older buy a discounted licence; under-14 fish free with a licensed adult. Buy from Wyoming Game and Fish at wgfd.wyo.gov. A Wyoming fishing licence plus a Conservation Stamp covers this water — it is on WGFD's Fishing Guide. Wyoming grants no public right to a private streambed: where a stream crosses private land, fish from public land, a WGFD walk-in or Public Access Area, or a bridge right-of-way.
