Welcome to our Yellowstone National Park Fishing Home Page

Yellowstone National Park is a massive wilderness recreation area.  Covering almost 3,500 square miles, this park is a national treasure and home to beautiful canyons, rivers, forests, hot springs, geysers and an array of wildlife.  If all that wasn’t enough, the fishing can be amazing in the park as well.

Cutthroat trout, Arctic grayling, mountain whitefish and other native fishes are important to the ecology of Yellowstone, however, nonnative fish such as brook trout, brown trout, lake trout and rainbow trout have contributed to the decline of the park’s native fish populations.  For the average angler, there isn’t too much concern about whether the fish are native to the park’s waters or not.  They are more concerned about what they can catch, how many they can catch and if there are some big fish available too.  This park is home to so many species of fish, but there are special fishing regulations that you have to follow while fishing in the park’s borders.  Follow the rules and you can get enjoy some excellent fishing for a variety of trout species.
