Yellowstone Fishing Report – (10.15.26)
The northeast side of the Park – Lamar, Soda Butte and Slough Creek is finishing up after the summer seaosn. There may be some more days where dry dropper set ups will be effective in covering water. Standard foam hoopers/attractors paired with pheasant tail, hare’s ears and other patterns like Duracells and perdigons will be effective. Anglers will most likely see BWOs as well as Terrestrials be the main focus for bugs.
The Madison, Firehole and Gibbon rivers should be back in good shape after many weeks of being closed due to high water tempatures. Look for the upcoming weather to really kickstart the fall season. Swinging soft hackles and small streamers on intermediate or slow sinking poly leaders can be productive. Hatches are going to be limited to mostly BWOs and some leftover Caddis. Warm days and nights can keep Terrestrials active as well. Look for the Madison Brown trout to start getting aggressive.
