- Jackson Hole/Yellowstone.... - 1 Update

Took a non-fishing vacation looping from Salt Lake City to Jackson Hole to
Yellowstone and back through Park City. Took at 7 piece 5 weight bought on
Amazon that turned out to be a fantastic $80 rod, and fits in my carryon
suitcase, so it will be going on a lot more trips.
Fishing highlights that I managed to slip in:
-Jackson Lake Dam - tailwater below he dam was beautiful (Snake River) -
clean water, gravelly bottom and shore - see picture. 14" cutt 2nd cash
(big yellow simulator - hopper/dropper combo (small nymph trailing). 9
more in the next hour, all on topwater except one nymph grabber.Irish
coffee at nearby Jackson Lake lodge was an experience enhancer.
-Firehole - fished it several times for short periods, several brown
trout on dry flies. Unexpectedly fished with 3 bison/buffalo who were just
around the corner (yielded them the stream)
-Madison/Gibbon - 15 minutes on each, no fish to the bank, but both
fantastic rivers, especially the Madison.
Yellowstone optimized for fly fishing - lots of dedicated sections and no
backcast issues. You do have to buy a park permit (used to be free), not a
wyoming non-res license.
Drove by the Henry's Fork on the way back to Salt Lake City, drift boats
everywhere, great looking river.
Recommended area for your bucket list - bears, buffalo, elk, mountains and
a lot more. Tetons were stunning.
