When I was just a young lad my father, brother and I spent days fishing the upper Yellowstone River above Upper Falls. Whenever we went fishing, it was nearly always fly fishing, and for the most part it was also catch and release. That is the only way I have ever fished any Yellowstone National Park river. I remember fishing alongside bait and hardware fishermen who were catching nothing while we were catching and releasing fish after fish.
I have stood on these rims above the lower Yellowstone River at every visit to the Park throughout my entire life and dreamt of being able to hike down and fish this stretch. It is no different today. I don't expect to ever actually do it, but it is still fun to dream. Perhaps the dream is better than the reality would be - who knows?
