West Yellowstone, Montana, a gateway to Yellowstone National Park, is a stone's throw from some of the best trout fishing in the world, including the Yellowstone, Madison, and Gallatin Rivers, as well as the countless legendary streams and lakes in the Park. Because of this, it was one of the first "trout towns," and anglers from all over the world would travel to it--some stayed for good--to fish. Fly-fishing legend Bob Jacklin and well-known writer and fly historian Bruce Staples team up to write the compelling history of this area, which still remains the epicenter of fly fishing in the western United States. This book also includes fly patterns, past and present, as well as up-to-date information about these famous rivers, making this an indispensable reference for anyone visiting the region.

The Yellowstone River in Yellowstone National Park is widely know for two things: the spectacular Yellowstone Falls, and a few miles of world-class dry-fly fishing for native cutthroat trout. But for all its reputation for easy pickings for big fish, the river can be devilishly difficult, depending on the season and the fishing conditions. Those big, burly cutthroats have seen it all and, at times, they can seem downright jaded--unless you know how to fish for them. West Yellowstone guide and fly shop owner Bob Jacklin and world-renowned angler Gary LaFontaine both know how. Calling on thirty-two years of experience, BOB JACKLIN knows the Yellowstone's fish and the fly patterns needed to fool them, its insects, and its moods, and he sets it all down in this concise, readable guide. LAFONTAINE adds what he learned in his twenty-plus years fishing the Yellowstone and shares the fly patterns he finds the most effective. Together they lead you through the river's seasons, its hatches, and its special reaches and runs. This book is the next best thing to having Bob and Gary at your side when you fish the Yellowstone in the park. Included are a hatch chart, a list of popular flies, and more than twenty tying recipes for the most effective patterns to catch fish in the Yellowstone River.
