"The combination of Bob Jacklin's passion for fly fishing and his wealth of knowledge of the Yellowstone makes this book the ultimate guide for the Yellowstone River."   -Joan Wulff

The Yellowstone River in Yellowstone National Park is known widely for two things:  the spectacular Yellowstone Falls and a few of miles of world-class dry-fly fishing for native cutthroat trout.  But for all its reputation as easy pickings for big fish, it can be devilishly difficult depending on the season and fishing conditions.   Those big, burly cutthroats have seen it all and, at times, they can seem downright jaded-unless you know how to fish for them.  And West Yellowstone guide and fly shop owner Bob Jacklin and world renowned angler Gary LaFontaine both know how.

Calling on thirty-two years of experience, Jacklin knows its fish, its insects, its flies, and its moods, and he sets it all down in this concise, readable guide.   LaFontaine adds what he's learned in twenty-plus years fishing the Yellowstone and shares the fly patterns he finds most effective.  Together they lead you through the river's seasons, its hatches, and its special reaches and runs.

This book is the next best thing to having Bob and Gary at your side when you fish the Yellowstone in the Park.

Included are a hatch chart, a list of popular flies, and more than twenty recipes for the most effective patterns that catch fish on the Yellowstone River.
