Known primarily for its trout populations, anglers who come to this area are often in search of their "fish of a lifetime", whether it be brown, rainbow, cutthroat, lake or golden trout. Also worth pursuing are the lesser known (and native to the area) mountain whitefish, and the occasional grayling (found within Yellowstone Park and a few remote streams outside the park).
Fly fishing is the most popular form of angling around the park, though by no means the only one. Lots of guides and stores offer gear for those who prefer tossing a spinner, a lure, deep trolling rigs, or hanging out on the lakeshore with the kids using good ole' night crawlers.
For anglers planning a trip to the area, there are usually three types who seek accommodations:
- The expert or advanced fisherman (or woman) who wants lodging, dining, guiding and all related services customized specifically to their destination-specific trip. For these folks, a full-on fishing lodge that offers all-inclusive packages is their best bet.
- The angler who fishes often in their home waters but who wants to expand their knowledge in this Yellowstone area, and doesn't necessarily want a fishing-only themed lodging experience. This group could benefit from a rental home, B&B, generic lodge or hotel/motel type accommodations that are relatively close to the waters in which they wish to fish.
- The visitor to the area who wants to try fishing as one of the many local activities but who has other non-fishing travelers in their group to consider. Depending on their dining and transportation needs, these individuals would best be suited for local motel/hotel, rental property or lodge that offers a concierge service for its guests.
Whatever your situation, if you plan to avail yourselves of the incredible angling opportunities that abound around Yellowstone Park, there are sure to be plenty of options for satisfying your dining, comfort and recreational activity needs.
