Being successful is more often a matter of
using the right methods, strategies and
techniques than luck. As the saying goes,
"luck comes when opportunity meets
preparation".
What Fly Should I Use?
This is the most frequently asked
question about fly-fishing any
where; however, it is not usually
one of the most important ones.
Presentation is usually more
important.
You will find that a few streams and situations
in the Yellowstone National Park may require
some fly-fishing methods that are a quite
different than those you may use at other
locations. On the other hand, most of these
methods are not very different from those used
to fish the headwaters of many other Eastern or
Western freestone streams.
Contrary to that, most of the methods are very
different from those used to fish tailwaters.
There are no dams in Yellowstone National
Park. Eastern anglers that are used to fishing
spring creeks may find some similar type
waters in Yellowstone but since the types of
water vary greatly in Yellowstone, the methods
used to fly fish these waters also varies greatly.
Methods of landing fish vary
with conditions and
circumstances.
