YNP Fly Fishing Reports
YNP Report 10/7/2021
Current Conditions
YNP should be picking up this week. Big Browns are going to start moving up from the lake and headed into the park. Get ready to swing soft hackle flies and streamers this week because it should be good. BWOs will begin these next few days and fish should start looking up. Nymphing can be productive with stonefly patterns and flashy attractor bugs. Streamer action will pick up as brown trout begin to feel the effects of the cold and move throughout the river system.
Remember to pinch barbs and no lead in Yellowstone National Park.
The Park is closed to fishing for the season. Get out there next year!
