Many of the most popular lakes like Yellowstone and Trout open on June 15th.
All park lakes typically fish their best during this period. Along with the
weather, the Firehole begins to warm and become less productive. The tributaries
of the Yellowstone River such as Slough Creek and the Lamar River begin clearing
somewhat during this period. Be there when they do, as fishing should be great.
On the lakes, a variety of sub-surface patterns will produce along with damselflies
in both nymph and adult form. A smorgasbord of hatches are occurring on most
streams, however matching the hatch is not intensely critical as these "
early season fish" are very opportunistic and tend to rise to a variety
of well presented imitations- we love it when they do that! Salmon flies also
can give us quite a treat on the Gardener and the Yellowstone River below the
falls during this time. The Gibbon River has a fine Brown Drake Hatch between
the middle and the end of this period and should not be over looked. If heading
out early in this period, be sure and check with us regarding water conditions
at your destination.
