    Default Fishing West Yellowstone

    Hi All,
    I'm headed to Yellowstone Park in a couple weeks on a family vacation. I've never been there and don't really know anything about fishing there. My son in law and I would like to do a drift boat trip one day. If you have someone you have fished with back there on any of the rivers that you would recommend please let me know.
    Thanks
    Jim May

    Most rivers are still running pretty high due to the huge snowpack and runoff. Best to call one of the shops and get their thoughts. Blue Ribbon Flies is in West Yellowstone. (406) 646-7642

    Blue Ribbon Flies, Madison River Outfitters, and Big Sky anglers are all solid. I'd stay clear of Arrick's or Jacklin's. If the Madison is still high Big Sky Anglers has Henry's Fork permits and its a short drive.

    You know what, you might nail it! Flows are dropping fast. We are going over to fish the Big Hole, Ruby, Beaverhead, Poindexter, etc. from June 6-17. I was getting very worried, especially when the Big Hole hit 10,000 cfs over the weekend, but it is now dropping fast. It is supposed to be down to 6,000 cfs in 1 week, and the Salmonfly hatch is expected to happen during the next week! I assume you will see the same conditions over at Yellowstone.

    Good Luck!

    Northwestern Energy completed the much awaited dam tunnel project on Hebgen. Cooler water on the Madison for the hotter summers now. Hatches should improve.

    Jim,

    Possibly the most important information you will receive . . . if you want a couple of cold ones, bring them. A guide will not provide those for you!!!
