the best small streams have to

Grayling Creek is a small, medium gradient stream located in the Northwestern
Corner of Yellowstone National Park that flows into Hebgen Lake. It has
everything from rapids to meadow sections but most of the stream consists of
runs and riffles. Outside undercut banks and small pools are good places to
catch its numerous cutbows. They average from 6 to 12 inches inside the park.
Access:
U. S. Highway 191 follows along Grayling Creek for several miles. There are
several places you can fish the stream from the highway. The upper section of
Grayling Creek can be accessed about 18 miles north of West Yellowstone,
Montana on Highway 191. There is a pullout area there where you can park and
fish up or down the creek.
The Grayling Creek Bridge on 191 is another. It is just over 10 miles from West
Yellowstone. The stream follows the road and crosses it between the bridge
and the upper parking area just mentioned that is about 7 miles upstream. You
may find other areas you can park and access the stream along highway 191.
Comments:
Grayling Creek is a good stopping off place if the Gallatin River is crowded. The
fish are generally small but usually eager and aggressive.
