SLOUGH CREEK
It’s numerous meadows and large Cutthroat have made Slough Creek one of the more famous rivers in Yellowstone National Park.
Slough Creek (pronounced sloo) has wide open meadows mixed with fast canyon sections and consistent hatches with big trout. Drakes, PMDs and the famous Slough Creek Cricket are usually the topic of conversation while rigging up in the parking areas.
The Cutthroat Trout in Slough Creek are wily, picky and quite large. Careful attention to presentation and drift are a must. This creek fishes more like a spring creek than a free stone most days.
Anglers looking for more remote locations might consider a horse back ride into the famous 3rd Meadow of Slough Creek. Advanced reservation required.

SODA BUTTE CREEK
This small stream tributary situated in a magnificent valley is home to good numbers of eager Cutthroat.
Don’t let the small size of Soda Butte Creek fool you – there are some beastly trout in this water. Deep holes and tricky drifts will test your angling skills as wary Cutties carefully inspect your drifts. You’ll spend your day fishing, but find yourself distracted by the towering mountains, free ranging bison, and the over all magnitude surrounding this amazing location.
Soda Butte Creek has good hatches of mayflies in the summer and fall along with great terrestrial fishing in late summer. Well drifted ants, hopper and beetles will bring perfectly camouflaged trout to the surface with methodical takes.

LAMAR RIVER
Fly fishing the Lamar River is truly what anglers imagine when they envision fishing in Yellowstone Park.
The Lamar is located in the northeast corner of the Park and ranges from wide open meadows to tight fast flowing canyons. All of which hold plenty of trout, some quite large. Anglers willing to walk a bit farther are usually rewarded.
The famed Lamar Valley is home to free ranging bison, wolves, bear, elk and antelope – and a lot of cutthroat trout. With a classic riffle, run, pool structure the trout feed well during hatch activity. Hatches of mayflies can be prolific, bringing even the largest trout to the surface – especially if you catch the Fall Drakes.
