Yellowstone National Park, July 10th, 2024

Fall River Basin stream now offering best fishing conditions in the region. That includes fishing success, scenery, and solitude. Northeast corner streams rounding into shape, but upstream Thundershowers will discolor the Lamar River. Trout Lake is mossing up, so dry flies and nymphs below an indicator are best methods.  Beula and Riddle lakes offer fastest action of any park still water.

Run-off is gone from Fall River Basin streams, and their top water fishing is improving by the day. PMDs and yellow sallies are numerous. Even damsel flies are hatching and their life cycle patterns bring interest from foraging trout. 

Patterns to try are the Missing Link Yellow Sally, Sparkle Dun-PMD Cream/Yellow, and Chubby Damsel- Blue.
