{Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Re: Summer Trip: Yellowstone

First, check in with Parks' Fly Shop in Gardiner, MT. The head guide there is a guy named Walter Wiese, actually knew him growing up in Missouri. He spends a ton of time in the Park and on the river in the Paradise Valley. Very knowledgeable guy, and can set you up, and guides in the park and on the river outside. 

Having visited Montana on trips and lived there for a stretch, one of the biggest keys to a trip out that way is to stay flexible, and be willing to do some driving to get to water that's fishing well. You may need to head for the spring creeks in Paradise valley, or over to the Beaverhead County/Madison County area, or even to the Missouri or Bighorn tailwaters - just depends on the water levels, which really matter out there. There's always something fishing well, just may not be what you expected. Also, for bigger rivers, like the Yellowstone, Madison, or Missouri, understand that a boat is incredibly helpful, if not mandatory, to cover enough water for success. A guide with a boat is a worthwhile investment for a day of your trip - you'll get to cover a big river, and you can plug them for tips on the wadeable fisheries.

This summer I am going to yellowstone and plan on doing some fishing. I am pretty excited about it. I have been doing some research on good spots to hit but I was wondering if anyone had any experience, tips on fishing out there. My biggest setback so far is finding access points online on where to fish. Anyone have suggestions? Greatly appreciated
