Just booked a trip for the end of October 2016. I'm flying into Bozeman and hoping to fish 4-5 rivers in the park. 2 years ago during the same week I caught some great fish on the Madison, Lamar, and Firehole. I'll be flying into Bozeman and likely staying in West Yellowstone for the majority of the trip. Any tips are welcome. Mainly where to stay, hike in water (which is my main interest), and possibly a guide for my first day to get dialed in. Also debating renting a 4x4 vs a compact in case of early snow. Thanks. -Elijah
When i worked there in 2013 the "Early Snow" arrived in Mid to late August, By Mid October on a normal year, Winter Snow arrives by Mid October...
There are some holes in the canyon that are not hard to get to and look real interesting at the Calcite Springs Area. Plus there is sheep there to keep you company. I did watch a guy catch a few nice cutthroats in them holes....
