Yellowstone National Park fishing season opens. Not all fisheries are open
at the same time so be sure to check the regulations. This period is prime time
on the Firehole River. Water temperatures on the Firehole are affected by area
geothermal activity. As a result of this geothermal influence and cooler seasonal
temperatures, the Firehole fishes best during this period. A good rule of thumb
for the Firehole is the worse the weather, the better the fishing, within reason
of course. If the forecast causes normal people to shake their heads and wonder
why they don't live elsewhere get your gear and head to the Firehole. Numb hands
and red checks are small fare for excellent fishing. Baetis, PMD's and Caddis
can all be found on any given day during this period.
