Yellowstone Park, July 13th, 2021

The Yellowstone River below the lake opens to fishing on Thursday, July 15th. Expect good fishing (green drakes, big stone flies, sallys, PMDs etc coming out) and plenty of company. Another opening that day is Pelican Creek. Fish will be returning to the lake there and their numbers are increasing. You will find more solitude there than on the river and fish will take any small or medium sized fly pattern offered, Be bear and bison aware. Fishing on the Madison and Gibbon Rivers is slowing and dangerrous to fish as water temperatures (74 Deg. F in Madison, up to 80 Deg F in Firehole) warm.
