Yellowstone National Park

The Lamar, soda butte, and slough creek have all been fishing. Beatis And BWO's have been consistent so be sure to bring some of those if you are looking for some dry fly eats you might also be able to get away throwing a October caddis. If you want to throw a nymph rig any beatis nymph has been working Aswell as some general attractors like a naughty bunny or sone sort of stonefly. The streamer bite is picking up a little as well. Smaller black and olive buggers are a good bet. West entrance is official closed.

Floy Tags

Park biologists are conducting a study to determine fish movement patterns and population sizes in Yellowstone Lake and several other park waters. Biologists have attached a Floy tag near the fish’s dorsal fin. The tags are typically orange or yellow in color and have a unique identification number.

If you catch a tagged cutthroat:

1. Record the tag number (photo or written) and release the fish unharmed.
2. Note the location the fish was caught.
3. Call or text 406-404-4877 and report the tag number and location of catch.
4. If the fish accidentally died, please include that detail in your report.
