Marine Species of Trout Food: (Crustaceans, Baitfish, etc.)
............................Fly Fishing Yellowstone National Park

Sculphin:
Sculphin are common
Many species of small fish (bait fish) exist in the
varied streams of Yellowstone National Park. S
Streamers that represent baitfish and other
marine species are usually very effective flies
especially if they are used correctly and at the
right times and places. Fishing them in low light
conditions or during times that the water is
stained from heavy rains can be productive
because it helps disguise the fake fly enough to
fool the trout.
Leeches, sculphin and other marine species
that trout feed on are also very plentiful.
