    About this ebook

    The basic how-to for planning your backcountry river fishing adventure in Yellowstone National Park’s backcountry. How to setup your trip to make sure you have a place to put your tent (legally!) because you can’t just put down for the night anywhere you want. This guide gives you an overview of the process to reserve a campsite and the major areas to fish for each time of the year.

    I want this book to be a functional “how-to” guide for someone new to Yellowstone to get into the backcountry and go fishing without spending a ton of money. I want to save you several hours of research and give you some practical advice I’ve learned over the last five years.

    I’m not going to show you how to fish or tell you exactly where the great fishing holes are. That would ruin your trip! What I will tell you is how to setup a great trip that will be a life-long memory...actually catching the fish is up to you.

    In this guide you’ll find a section about the seasons of the park and how they match the calendar for those who aren’t familiar with the climate and weather of Yellowstone National Park. If you are not familiar with the seasons in the Rocky Mountains, you need to read that section to make sure you know what kind of weather you’re in for during your trip.

    You’ll read about how to setup your trip-of-a-lifetime fishing in the Yellowstone Backcountry. You’ll read about the most efficient and most cost-effective ways to get to the park, how to reserve a campsite and why you should spend the $20 to do it. After that, you’ll read about a few specific trips that are designed for the angler of any capability, beginner or advanced. That section has details about each trip.

      Learning About Fishing - Part I

      I’m not entirely sure what makes people take up fishing. Before my first experience fishing, I believed producing results wouldn’t be a problem, or catching fish would be a series of short-lived excitement. Rushing down the cement road to set up my p

      Striper Island

      Oct 5, 2021

      I’ve always had a thing for islands. I fished five islands in the North-east, by boat and from shore, for so many years that I consider them home waters. Most of the large stripers I’ve taken have come off four of those islands, which are swept daily

      Yellowstone’s Backcountry Cutthroats

      The basic how-to for planning your backcountry river fishing adventure in Yellowstone National Park’s backcountry. When and where to go. How to setup your trip to make sure you have a place to put your tent (legally!) because you can’t just put down for the night anywhere you want. This guide gives you an overview of the process to reserve a campsite and the major areas to fish for each time of the year. You’ll also find the websites and other resources for current detailed information. Sorry, but this guide won’t give you the secret holes with trophy fish or any type of fishing techniques to catch that trophy fish, and it doesn’t tell you how to backpack.

      This book focuses on fishing the rivers in the backcountry. There are some opportunities for fishing backcountry lakes, such as Shoshone and Lewis and Heart Lakes, but this book covers only the Grebe Lake area in the spring and early summer. Maybe those backcountry lakes will be in an update after I pull myself away from the rivers and go to the lakes in the future.

      You also get a top-secret review of the easy way to get to the upper Yellowstone River, above the lake!

      About The Author

      What’s This Book All About?

      I want this book to be a functional how-to guide for someone new to Yellowstone to get into the backcountry and go fishing without spending a ton of money. I don’t have anything against fishing guides or their industry; I think they play an important role in things. They certainly are some of the best voices for environmentalism. They will teach you more about fishing in a day than you could learn in several years on your own. But at some point, you might want to venture into the backcountry without maxing out your credit card. I want to save you several hours of research and give you some practical advice I’ve learned over the last five years.

      I’m not going to show you how to fish or tell you exactly where the great fishing holes are. That would ruin your trip! What I will tell you is how to setup a great trip that will be a life-long memory…actually catching the fish is up to you.

      In this guide you’ll find a section about the seasons of the park and how they match the calendar for those who aren’t familiar with the climate and weather of Yellowstone National Park. If you are not familiar with the seasons in the Rocky Mountains, you need to read that section to make sure you know what kind of weather you’re in for
