Yellowstone Park, September 14th, 2024

Thunder showers and rains have discolored streams in the northeast section of the park with more to come next week. Unsettled weather is good news for Firehole River enthusiasts where BWOs are making for good top water fishing. Brown and rainbow trout are moving into the Madison River drainage above Hebgen Lake, and the upcoming unsettled weather gives a good time to experience their superb fighting qualities. Swing those streamer and big soft hackled patterns deep through holding water, and hang on!. Look for Lewis River brown trout to also become more aggressive as we move through September. No killing frosts yet in Fall River Basin. That means good population of ants and hoppers remain along the banks of all streams.
