Yellowstone Park, August22nd, 2020

 

Areal Beula Hering

Beulah (Foreground) and Hering Lakes

Any water adjacent to a road is crowded and tourist traffic through most entrances makes getting there lengthy. This really applies to the major streams in the northeast corner of the park ( Lamar River, Slough, Soda Butte Creeks). By contrast Fall River Basin streams  (Bechler and Fall Rivers, Boundary and Mountain Ash Creeks) in the southwest corner have few (Bechler and Boundary Creek) to nearly no (Fall River and Mountain Ash Creek) visits. All Fall River Basin streams and Beula and Hering Lakes are off the beaten path and require a bit of driving over gravel roads then walking to approach. Like anywhere in the Park, fishing is a bit tough on the basin streams ( AM tricos, PM hoppers, beetles and ants work best) as waters drop to base flows and are warmed by afternoons. At 7000 feet in elevation Beula Lake, however, still offers as good of fishing as anywhere in the park, and like its Fall River Basin partners requires a walk (2.5 miles) to reach.
