Last week Yellowstone National Park FINALLY announced hoot owl restrictions for all river watersheds in the Park, ending angling on all rivers by 2 PM each day. Water temps have been blisteringly hot in many of the Park’s waters; take for example the Upper Firehole gauge temps (not the typically much warmer lower Firehole gauge) […]
Yellowstone National Park
Today is the 149th anniversary of one of the best ideas ever conceived on this planet – Yellowstone National Park. YNP remains a life-list, must-visit fly fishing destination of cold water fly fishers world wide, and contains a collection of natural wonders rarely seen so closely gathered together in one very special region. The thinking […]
Those that tried to tune into the MGTU presentation last week – guide and owner Shane McCaflin of the Sunrise Pack Station – were unable to connect due to to some technical issues. Thankfully a video of the presentation was recorded and is available for your perusal here – we’re still making the case this […]
Despite it feeling like the earth had been quaking beneath our feet for much of 2020, in the Greater Yellowstone region, earthquake numbers were more or less average (even on the low side) for 2020. More from this issue of Yellowstone Caldera Chronicles…

When a reasonably well read, and well traveled, fly fisher hears the word Yellowstone, I’d bet you dollars to donuts they immediately conjure up images of the Firehole, the Gibbon, the waters of the Northeast Corner, maybe even the upper Gallatin along 191 north of West Yellowstone.

The Return from Trout Unlimited on Vimeo. Dave Sweet has spent over a decade helping to bring back the Yellowstone Cutthroat from the brink of extinction. Along with his daughter, Diana, a fisheries biologist, he will travel into the infamous Thorofare area of Yellowstone, the most remote wilderness in the lower 48, to see if […]
An update last week from NatGeo on efforts to eradicate lakers out of Yellowstone Lake and her tribs; not “new” news, but the most recent update we’ve seen, along with some great images. (Image from the article.) Their angle kinda’ reminds me of this scene from MP and the Holy Grail…
A friend from France we’ve met through Chi Wulff recently emailed this article to me asking if he should cancel the trip he’s planning with friends coming to fish the Northern Rockies, including significant time in Yellowstone during the traditional late spring mayfly hatches. He’s a delightful guy with a well-developed and very wry sense […]
