We have had more summer weather in September than any other month of the year this year. It should be nice and cool this time of year, not as hot as it has been. Down in the Park it hasn’t been all that bad, just not as cool as it needs to be. Things should start really cooling down by the middle of next week though, so the end may be in sight.
Once things do start cooling down is when the fishing is going to really get good again. I wouldn’t even bother with the section below the lake right now. The fish are really spooky. There are mayflies coming off, but you really have to work for your catch. The canyons are a little better, with some caddis thrown into the mix.
All in all, if you can, wait for another week before fishing the Yellowstone in the Park.
