You'll probably want to avoid the west side rivers - Madison (in the Park), Firehole, Gibbon as they'll probably be too warm by then. Think terrestrials.

get Walt Wiese's Fly fishing Yellowstone Country. it is a must read for anyone fishing Yellowstone.
Best,

Another vote for Walt's "Fly Fishing Yellowstone Country". Packed with info about fishing the park, it's likely to answer most if not all your questions. See it on Amazon.com,

One fly, Grasshopper.
We had relatively few grasshoppers in our area (I am located on the Yellowstone River, midway between the Park and Livingston) the past 2 summers, and as a result, fishing with them wasn't typical of a normal year - hopefully, this summer will get back to normal.Quote:

Some forecasts show a drier summer so pack some. We saw some good PMD and BWO hatches. Get Walter's book and check Parks website.
