The Yellowstone River
As
the longest free flowing river in the lower 48 states, the Yellowstone
is the largest freestone river in our region. Beginning its journey
in Yellowstone Park, this river flows north out of the park to the town
of Livingston before heading East across the state. Because of
its size, the Yellowstone is best fished from a boat although wade fishing
is possible.
Current Conditions & Fishing Strategy 01/27/2012
There is a little ice along the banks up in the Valley, but the Yellowstone has continued to fish good with the mild weather. Wind has been a bit of an issue as it has been everywhere lately, but if you find the right day, plenty of fish can be caught. Fishing conditions have been more like late fall than winter and the fishing has been pretty decent mostly dead drifting smaller sized beadhead nymphs. Recommended Fly Patterns Dries -
