Your Constantly Updating Yellowstone Fly Fishing Resource
It’s hard to believe there are only 34 days of fishing left in the Park, and that’s counting today!.
The Park has recently published their reminder of closing dates for the season in the Park – here are some of the notable ones for fisherfolk –
All gates except the North close at 8 AM on the […]
Sounds like the Park has reopened the section of the Grand Loop that has been closed from Fishing Bridge to Canyon. No stopping to gawk in the burn area, but you can drive through.
We may run up later today and just look around and fish hunt a bit on the Yellowstone; we can never decide whether […]
Two campgrounds just outside the Park along highway 212 (outside of Cooke City) were closed yesterday afternoon after a grizzly entered a tent and bit and clawed a camper sleeping there. Reports suggest that the camper (yet unidentified) has bit and claw marks on his arms from defending himself against the bear who entered his […]
Another sure sign spring is on the way - YNP has posted (yesterday) the spring schedule for the closure of the snow vehicle season (9 March) and the projected opening of roadways to vehicles (at least in the north and northwest regions) on 18 April. That’s only seven weeks from today - we’ll be in […]
YNP released yesterday their official tally of 2007 visitors to Yellowstone -
Visitation to Yellowstone National Park continued a record-breaking pace into the early winter season, culminating with an all-time annual visitation high of 3,151,342, up 9.8% from last year. The previous record was set in 1992 at 3,144,405 visitors.

An excerpt from a story in the Bozeman Daily Chronicle today….
A tractor-trailer packed with honeybees rolled over on U.S. Highway 191 north of West Yellowstone Tuesday afternoon, spilling bee hives and swaths of the insects onto the ground.
“There was a ton of bees all over the road and all over the air,” Montana Highway Patrol […]
We’ve had a lot of questions of late about road status in the Park. There’s no new snow impacting travel this morning.
There have been some closures already, and here’s the road update from the Park admin -
The road between Tower Fall and Canyon (Dunraven Pass) and the Beartooth Highway from Long Lake to the summit […]
YNP released yesterday their final environmental impact statement (EIS) regarding winter use plans for the Park along with Grand Teton NP.
No real surprises here (click to forward to the news release) - snowmobiles will be reduced to 540 per day using BAT (best available technology) starting in 2008, all groups will be guided, and they […]
It appears the NPS has decided reduce the number of snowmobiles in the Park this next year. Sounds like it leaked out of Testor’s office before the Park made their official announcement…
HELENA, Mont. (AP) — The National Park Service has decided to reduce the number of snowmobiles allowed into Yellowstone National Park each day, according […]
YNP has recently released the results of the collection of public comments regarding snowmobile usage in the Park.
It sure sounds like environmental groups mobilized well, as the comments apparently ran 35.5 to 1 against snowmobile usage in the Park. From the summary released by the Park, it was noted that almost 90,000 of the 122,190 voluntary respondents […]
