Yellowstone Park, June 17th, 2023

The Ashton Flagg Road remains closed east of Calf Creek Hill. This closes access to Fall River and Beula Lake from the west. It does the same for Lake of the Woods and Grassy Lake Reservoir from the west. The Cave Falls road is open, but Fall River Basins streams remain high and discolored with run-off. Shoshone and Lewis Lakes are open and in fishing condition. Boating is best way to encounter resident brown and Lake trout. Look for submerged weed beds and use full sink lines too present leech, scud and jig pattern to depth. You can also have good fishing on Shoshone Lake by packing a flotation device three miles down the DeLacy Creek trail to Shoshone Lake,

The Firehole River still offers the best stream fishing in the park. PMD, BWO life cycle patterns bring action. The same for white miller and yellow sally patterns. Swing soft hackle patterns for action.
