Home Forums Fishing Flyfishing Yellowstone Park in September

I am headed into the park this weekend to camp and open up the Firehole River. I have done this every year and will continue for years to come. Yellowstone has some unbelievable fishing.

Staying in the park is a better idea than some mentioned. I would suggest staying at Pebble Creek campground on the way to Cooke City. The Lamar is right down the road from there and a phenomenal river to fish.

Woolly Buggers cast downstream and against the bank then allowed to swing out to deeper water will produce good fish. I would first try dries and look to terrestrials, Hoppers, Ants and Beetles, close to the banks and up against the rocks where the water has some depth.

I fish that river almost every week after the high water clears and there are some real good fish in the Lamar. Pay no attention to most of the fishermen on the river, most of them can't fish and don't know where to fish the river. If you are here that week let me know, I may be up there fishing it and we can hook up...
