I have been fishin tenkara in the smaller streams in Yellowstone. For two seasins now. I am in the park may-oct and this is my 4th year here. So i know the park well but it is a BIG place. I have found some nice spots that work well for tenkara and have a few spots on my list this year such as upper black tail deer creek and upper lava creek.
I am not doing well in the larger rivers like the fire hole, gibbons, madison and so on. But i tend to do better in the smaller ones lile mentioned above.
Is anyone familure with tenkara or fishing small rivers in Yellowstone? I would love any tips about location,gear or time of year changes in fishing. I wilould be happy to swap some of waht i have learned about the area or even meet up and fish together.
I have to admit that i just started fishing 2 years ago and am ccomplete self tought. So inother words i dont have a clue.
Yellowstone has a lot to offer but also has some challenges. The fish see a lot of pressure in some areas. So that can make them hard to catch. Also the thermal features change water temps. This means some rivers are better early season but then get to hot as others get to the right temp. Challangrs, you just have to learn how to use them to your advantage. That is wwould like to try to learn from someone that also knows the park.
Thanks guys!
