YNP Report 9/1/2020

    Current Conditions

    Cooler nights up in the Park will slow the terrestrial fishing for a few days, but the weekend is looking nice and warm again. Keep the terrestrials in the box, but be ready to nymph in the mornings. PMDs, Caddis, Tricos and flying ants are all playing a role. The browns are not running up from the lake yet...still a little early.

    As always when in the Park, bring your bear spray and be respectful of the thermal features and the "no tread" zones. Read your regulations and know what's up.
