Yellowstone National Park Fly Fishing
Fly fishing in Yellowstone National Park is one of the best ways to actively experience the world’s oldest national park. Visitors and locals alike come to fish the park’s creeks, rivers, and lakes due to the area’s natural beauty, abundant wildlife, and wide variety of fish species.
Fishing in the park is open the Saturday of Memorial Day Weekend through the end of October every year.
Fishing in the park is highly regulated by the National Park Service. You’ll need to obtain a special fishing license and follow all park fishing regulations regarding species you can fish and gear you can use to support wildlife conservation efforts.
Going with a licensed Yellowstone fly fishing outfitter like us will help you stay safe and compliant in this sensitive area.
