This photo was taken a few years ago, but I think we all get the hint.
Winter has officially arrived. Even if the calendar doesn't agree.

One last salute to winter with a fly fishing photo of a snowstorm on the Firehole River.
Madison River Grayling

Caught this Grayling at the Madison Junction hole below the campground. In addition to the Grayling, we caught Rainbows, Browns, and Mountain Whitefish. This was the hot location, where the Firehole and Gibbon Rivers merge in Yellowstone National Park.Sean Wallentine

When planning a fly fishing trip to Yellowstone National Park, a visit to the Firehole River is on everyones list and the reasons are many. Not only is there easy access along the Grand Loop from Upper Geyser Basin to Madison Junction, but the wildlife and thermal features combine all aspects of the Yellowstone experience. In previous years and depending on the time of year, there can be additional regulations for the Firehole due to higher than normal water temperatures. In this area of the park, anglers can expect to catch Browns and Rainbows. We've had success with dries, dry/droppers, and indicator nymphing. Typical caddis patterns worked well and swinging soft hackles raised fish near the end of the drift. Make sure you have your camera, you will not be disappointed.
