The Yellowstone originates in the Park at Yellowstone Lake. After leaving the Park it flows North through the Paradise Valley, one valley to the East of West Yellowstone.

Floating with a drift boat with bank fishing from gravel bars works for the Yellowstone.

The Yellowstone offers you a chance to connect with a Cutthroat Trout like the one above.

The Yellowstone is a big river capable of big fish like this Brown Trout. Steep banks are perfect for working dry flies next to shore.

The 'Stone also has good populations of Rainbow Trout.

High water can run May till mid July. There are no dams on the Yellowstone, thus during the summer season weather conditions many miles away can cause high or murky water up to a day later down stream.

Trips to the Yellowstone normally require a road trip through the Park. Lots of wildlife to be seen morning and evening. Like this herd Bull Elk escorting his cows across the Madison River at dusk. Although the drive is designed to get to and from the fishing in a timely manner, there's always time for a picture or two and can be a highlight of the trip.

Our fishing trips on the Yellowstone are usually on the upper area just North of Gardiner, Montana. This area offers great opportuities to catch Cutthroat Trout.
