Yellowstone National Park, June 19th 2024

The last few days of cool weather helps the Firehole River stay hospitable for trout, but warming weather soon will change this. Cold, windy weather will make fishing on major lakes (Lewis, Shoshone, and Yellowstone) dangerous. Streams in the northeast corner of the Park (Lamar River, Slough, Soda Butte and Pebble Creeks) are high with run-off. Trout Lake opened for fishing a few days ago. It hosts some of the largest cut-bow hybrids in the Park outside of Fall River Basin. Run-off is receding in Fall River Basin streams.
