Leland on Fly Fishing the Yellowstone in the Park
The Yellowstone River in Yellowstone National Park is often misconstrued as a just a couple of miles of premium dry-fly water. Wrong! Calling on his 32 years of guiding experience, Jacklin covers the river from Yellowstone Lake to the Park boundary, describing each important section, key hatches, essential fly patterns, & techniques. B&w photos, map, hatch chart, popular flies list, recipes for essential flies; 5x8 inches, 128 pgs.
More Information
The Yellowstone in the Park is widely known for two things: the spectacular Yellowstone Falls, and a few miles of world-class dry-fly fishing for native cutthroat trout. But for all its reputation for easy pickings for big fish, the river can be devilishly difficult, depending on the season and the fishing conditions. Those big, burly cutthroats have seen it all and, at times, they can seem downright jaded—unless you know how to fish for them. West Yellowstone guide and fly shop owner Bob Jacklin and world-renowned angler Gary LaFontaine both know how.

—Lefty Kreh
“The combination of Bob Jacklin’s passion for fly fishing and his wealth of knowledge on the Yellowstone makes this book the ultimate guide for the Yellowstone River.”
—Joan Wulff
