Yellowstone National Park Excursion

Enjoy fishing 2.5 days fishing and 2 nights lodging in the heartland of America’s First National Park! Fish the famous Firehole, Yellowstone and Gibbon backcountry rivers with one of our experienced guides.

Angling opportunities in Yellowstone National Park are not suited for day trip experiences, so trips are complete with lodging to minimize your time driving and maximize your time on the water. Anglers will target wild rainbow trout and brown trout surrounded by and immersed in the geysers and geo-thermally rich ecosystem of the Firehole, Madison and Gibbon Rivers. Staying in the park eliminates the need to rush home or beat the traffic.

Anglers will stay at the famous Old Faithful Snow Lodge. Completed in 1999, the Snow Lodge is the newest of the park’s full service hotels, and has been recognized with the Cody Award for Western Design and Travel and Leisure’s Inn of the Month. Located in the heart of the Firehole Basin, which is one of the greatest geyser basins in the world, you are steps away from the Old Faithful Geyser as well as some of the best fishing opportunities on the Firehole river. A short drive opens up a world of fly fishing opportunities on Madison and Gibbon rivers, Yellowstone Lake and other Yellowstone National Park waterways.

Fishing in Yellowstone

Yellowstone National Park offers one of the largest concentrations of trout streams and lakes in the world; some areas are even restricted to fly fishing and catch and release only. Yellowstone is a massive area and is consistently listed on every anglers bucket list and places to fly fish before they die. The fly fishing opportunities are diverse and unlimited.

Seasonality

Spring time in Yellowstone National Park is a special time of year. Summer crowds haven’t yet arrived and the park is full of life. The warm waters of the Firehole River kickstart the fly fishing season with hatches of Baetis, Caddis and PMDs on warm days. Salmonflies start buzzing around the Firehole canyon while wildlife tends to their young born just weeks before. Fall time offers a more relaxed pace of life. Cooler days and nights offer reprieve from the summer heat while the leaves change and crowds dissipate. The trout of Yellowstone National Park prepare for the winter ahead feeding in aggressive fashion on dry flies, nymphs and streamers. Simply put, these are our two favorite seasons in Yellowstone.
