Fishing Yellowstone Waters
The Madison, the Gallatin, the Firehole, Henry’s Fork of the Snake, the Gibbon, Slough Creek, the Yellowstone—these and a score of other rivers (more than 2,000 miles of them) within a hundred-mile radius make West Yellowstone, Montana, the “trout mecca” of the world. Charlie Brooks, a long-time resident of the area, has pooled his incisive knowledge of fishing and rivers with superb photographer Dan Callaghan to produce the first major fisherman’s guide to the region.
In Fishing Yellowstone Waters you will learn the fabled pools on these famous rivers, the insect hatches, the best files to use (and when), the most effective methods of fishing each river and the most fruitful times. There are some especially helpful appendixes that list the most popular flies, based on a poll of local tackle dealers made by the authors.
Too many people travel long distances to this area but lack the specific knowledge needed to make their trip as productive as it might be. This book can help. But it is also for all fishermen who dream of someday fishing these marvelous, productive waters.
Charles E. Brooks is the author of The Living River, Larger Trout for the Western Fly Fisherman, Nymph Fishing for Larger Trout, and The Trout and the Stream, as well as numerous articles in the major outdoor magazines. Dan Callaghan, a lawyer based in Oregon, is a passionate and skilled fly fisherman whose photographs have appeared in such magazines as Fly Fisherman and Rod & Reel.
