Yellowstone Park, September 2nd, 2023

Lamar River

With a stormy weekend in the works, consider that certain streams will be discolored. For example, northeast corner streams in the Park can color up quickly after storms. It’s a long trip to fish such as the Lamar River and Slough and Soda Butte Creeks. If you intend to try these, consider contacting one of the West Yellowstone fly shops for information on each.

Look for the Firehole River to begin returning to water temperatures that favor trout comfort and activity. Anywhere you fish in the Park (and elsewhere), try not to play fish to exhaustion and release them facing into the current. We want as many as possible back in the water for the remainder of the season as well for as upcoming years.
