Fly Fishing the Greater Yellowstone Backcountry

Yellowstone National Park is one of the most crowded parks in the country, and for good reason: breathtaking scenery, amazing wildlife, and for anglers, great fishing. Yet, even a short hike from the road or trailhead into the backcountry of the park and the surrounding area can put anglers into even better fishing, often in solitude. This guidebook focuses on backcountry fishing opportunities in Yellowstone Park and surrounding areas in Wyoming, Montana, and Idaho (Greater Yellowstone Area). In addition to full color photographs of the destinations, the author includes essential information for each stream or lake, including maps and written directions, flies, gear, and timing.Waters CoveredYellowstone ParkFall River BasinBeula LakeBoundary CreekCascade CreekHering LakeMountain Ash CreekRobinson CreekLewis River DrainageMoose CreekPolecat CreekGallatin River DrainageMadison River Drainage"Beaver Meadows" of the Madison RiverDuck CreekGneiss CreekYellowstone River DrainageBlacktail PondsBlacktail Deer CreekCascade LakeGrizzly LakeMcBride LakeRiddle LakeTower CreekWest of Yellowstone Park (Montana) "Waters to the West"Centennial ValleyRed Rock CreekOdell CreekElk LakeElk Spring CreekHidden LakeGraben LakesCliff LakeWade LakeMadison River DrainageBetween Highway 191 and Hebgen LakeQuake LakeSmith LakeSouth Fork Madison RiverWest Fork Madison RiverRuby RiverUpper RiverF.
