Your Constantly Updating Yellowstone Fly Fishing Resource
Jake and I had a chance to hit the Park for one last day yesterday; we made a couple of stops. We were sworn to secrecy by a friend as to a place on Grayling – sorry, no pics or map of this foray (see our post later today about the upcoming changes in our […]
In the 17 months or so (with a several month gap) that our site has been on line, we’ve not been shy about the fact that the Firehole is indeed one of our favorite rivers in the Park / the West / the greater World.
The Firehole doesn’t draw the headhunters looking for eight pound rainbows […]
It is very nearly with a lump in my throat this morning that I humbly offer this final report on the Firehole for the season. One week from today all but the northern-most roadways in the Park will close for the 2008 season, and the fishing season will have been closed for about 12 hours. […]
I know many of the fisherfolk who are in the Park chasing the big boys on the Madison might argue – but the Firehole just might be the star of the Park this time of year. It’s no secret that we all love the Firehole – though we do like chasing the runners too….
Warmed a […]
Don’t let a little snow put you off fishing the Park these remaining days – the Firehole really comes into its own at this time of year. We wholeheartedly agree with those predicting that this new-fallen October mantle of snow won’t significantly impact access or fishing on the Firehole, and most of the snow will […]
Now is the time to be on the Firehole – for a whole lot of reasons. The Park is gorgeous this time of year, and this week’s weather will probably be the last of the mild fall days for the season.
Today’s pic is of one of the weedbeds on the river that hold so much […]
Jess and I had a chance yesterday to run up to the Firehole after lunch; we both got fed up with real life work chores and the non-stop talk about the bailout.
It was sunnier that we’d hoped, but BWOs were still sputtering off until about 4:30 - better in the cloud shade that in the […]
Okay, okay – so the sun is slowing the baetis a bit – they’re still there and you’ve got Caddis on the warmer evenings to boot. As warm as the temperatures are going to be for the next few days, terrestrials will still be a good option too.
The cloudy days are still bringing on strong […]
My oh my – we’re starting the third week of September, the weather has turned back to fall again, and the Firehole has come back into its superb fall season form.
I don’t know about you, but fall on the Firehole makes me think of baetis – a friend was in them (small, think #22) yesterday […]
The burst of warm temperatures of late (and due for much of the week) might impact the Firehole as much or more than any other system in the Park.
Flows today near the confluence (0600) are 271 cfs, with today’s historical average 269 cfs. Water temps have been pushing 70 near the confluence all week; though […]
