Any conversation about fly fishing Wyoming would be incomplete without a look at Yellowstone fly fishing. Yellowstone National Park consists of 2.2 million acres of wild, breathtaking beauty. In the park there are over 100 lakes and 1000 miles of stream to give anglers plenty of variety.

Anglers will be hard pressed to find anywhere else in the world that offers so much public water in one place. Add the incredible natural beauty and abundant wildlife and Yellowstone fly fishing takes on a life of it's own.

One of the problems with Yellowstone fly fishing is that there is so much trout water in Yellowstone. You could fish in the park from now on and never really feel like you've taken advantage of the fly fishing opportunities there.

So much Great Water

The park has so much great water yet most anglers stay to the better known fisheries. There is nothing wrong with that and they probably won't leave disappointed. The angler that is willing to strap on a back pack and venture into the Yellowstone back country will find some great trout water. Most anglers have never heard of some of these back country streams. There is a lot to be said for getting away from the crowds in the park.

Some of the better known trout streams in Yellowstone include...

The Yellowstone River

The Snake River

The Firehole River

The Lamar River

A word of caution

Anytime you venture into the Yellowstone back country you should keep in mind that this is bear country. You are likely to see bears and you need to be prepared. Make lots of noise, most of the time a bear will try to avoid you. What you don't want to do is be real quiet and surprise one. Take some time and talk to a park ranger about the precautions that will keep you safe when fly fishing Yellowstone's back country.

Yellowstone provides the angler the chance to catch cutthroat , rainbow, brown and brook trout. You can also take lake trout, mountain whitefish and arctic grayling. The only true native fish to the park are cutthroat, grayling, and mountain whitefish.

Yellowstone has so much excellent public trout water to fish. Combine that with the natural beauty and abundant wildlife and it becomes a fly fisher's dream. If you are a fly fisher, a Yellowstone fly fishing trip should rank at the top of the "must do" list.
