Yellowstone National Park Flyfishing (Part 1), "THE GARDINER RIVER", Oct. 2019
Вставка
- Опубліковано 21 жов 2024
- Brownies, Rainbows and Cutthroats were hitting on the Gardiner pretty consistently. Temps were cold, every morning in the 20s, eventually topping off in the upper 30s for the first several days. And boy, was it windy! But we had an absolute ball on the Gardiner, more of a stream than a river, and being close to geysers helped keep the water temps just right to keep the fish feeding. if you ever get up to the northeast entrance of the park in the town of Gardiner, please stop into Park's Fly Shop, check out their tackle and flies, plus they have all the information you'll need to fly fish in Yellowstone Park.
Had a big bull elk come rt up to me through long grass while on the Gardiner this September in the smoke. I was a little nervous but he social distanced and fed behind me for almost an hr. Love fishing out there! Slough and Soda Butte my preferences tho. Great video!
Thank you Jim! We wanted to hit those two streams but guide said that year they were colder than the other streams, probably not feeding that good there. Actually did fish Slough but not a single hit for 2-3 hours, so went back to the Gardiner. I fished the Big Mo’ back in the 80s and 90s before it got really popular, just crushed it for 10+ years. My dad lived in Great Falls and had a cabin up the river, great fishing right out the door. The good old days. Appreciate you watching and commenting.
Scott, the boys and I have to get over to that part of the country and fly fish over there at Yellowstone. Great video with some great catches!
Happy On The Fly Hey guys, thank you! Oh yea, definitely a great family flyfishing trip. Thanks for watching and commenting.
Great video! Curious if you noticed any difference in catch rates / size of fish between your nymphing style and your buddy’s mono rig? Thanks!
Hello Travis! No, not really, it just seemed that if you got a nice deep drift, you were likely to get a hit. I’m actually heading out there again in September, I’ll bring my camera again, so stay tuned 👍🏻. Appreciate you watching and commenting.
@@pawoodsnwater7551 Thanks, and good luck!
Super video they’re all super but this was another great! Thanks!
Douglas Randall Hi Doug! Thank you very much! Gotta get together after hunting season. Hope to see ya soon.
Thanks for sharing the beautiful scenery and fish. Congrats to you and Brett for a great day on the river. Hope the weather holds for the rest of your trip.
Big O Well, hello! Nice to hear from you. We’re back already, two more short videos coming out on the Firehole and the Yellowstone, but boy the wind was the culprit for the second half of our trip. Super hard to find a section of water that was blocked from the wind and was good fishable water. Stay tuned in for those videos. Thanks for watching and commenting.
The only river I have fished out west is the Provo in Utah near Salt Lake City. Hope to make to Yellowstone in the near future. Thanks again.
SCOTT YOU MADE IT LOVE THAT RIVER!!
tooter1able Hey hey! Thank you Buddy! You and me both! Glad you enjoyed the video.
Wow, what an amazing trip! Thanks for sharing Scott! Keep up the good work!!
Joseph Stella Hey Joe! Thank you Buddy. Hope to get out on the Tully soon, still hunting. Hear it’s fishing well. Have fun!!
Loved it! Wow!
Oh yes, a trip out West should definitely be on your bucket list. Thanks for watching and commenting.
Sweet fishing. Scott.
Look like a Beautiful area to fish.
Keep up the Great Work.
Frankie Shoenfelt Hi Frankie! Sorry I couldn’t respond in Montana, not the best cell service and phone battery dying early in that freezing weather. Let you know when I’m heading out towards the J. Thanks for your support.
@@pawoodsnwater7551 im back on 2nd shift. Come out for a morning trip..
Scott- How far out of the park were you? or were you in the park? I've been there about 5-6 times fishing the Gibbon and the Slough and Yellowstone. Next time , definitely fishing the Gardner. Just a story--last time I went I fished the sulphur cauldron and broke the sole one of my boots; went to Park's in Gardner-bought a pair of boots and found out the salesman-guide was from my home town back East. Great trip. Love your videos.
tooter1able Hi buddy! Small world, isn’t it!? Yes, we fished in the park, a little up from Mammoth Spring, I think. Back some maintenance road. Thanks for watching and commenting, appreciate your support.
Looks like an amazing trip! What beautiful fish. The cutthroats and cutbows were incredible. With a snow storm! Great video as usual Scott!
Scott Lowe Hey Scott! Yes, great trip, but oh the weather! Winter definitely came early in Montana. Gorgeous fish, even the whitefish. Thanks for watching and commenting.
Was in Yellowstone last summer. Had my gear with me and didn’t get to fish. Stupid huh. Love this video. Beautiful stream, fish & weather. I love the winter. Great video.
Larry McGinnis Hi Larry! Thank you for the kind words. It’s a shame you didn’t get to fish it last year. But that’s the best excuse for going back out again, ha! Thanks for watching and commenting.
Epic trip man! I gotta get out there. Thanks for sharing a very unique video and all the different types of fish they had to offer and SNOW lol. Crazy, but not crazy out there. Excellent work as usual. Look forward to the next one!
Tight Lining MD Thank you Mike! Oh yea, gotta put Yellowstone on your bucket list. Two more short videos coming on the Firehole and the Yellowstone. Thanks for watching and commenting.
My man , another great video . So glad you had a great time out in Montana you deserve it .
Rich Smidtke Richie! Yo brother! Thanks, had a great time, a couple other short videos to follow. Take care and tight lines.
Looks like you had a great trip. Nice video. Was there in Sept. The scenery is awesome and can definitely make up for those slow fishing days. Got me daydreaming about my next montana trip now!!
John Wekenmann Hi John! Yes great time but weather could’ve been better. Thanks for watching and commenting.
Good for you Scott in a nice destination getaway trip! Great looking river and some good action! I’m almost tempted to go out myself! Question for you , how do the flies vary from the North East, what adjustments did you make if any? Tight lines!
Chasingbowsnbrowns 365 Hi Bud! Thank you very much. Honestly, I didn’t tye any extra flies for this trip. I used the Isonychia, Golden Stone, pheasant tail, Hares Ear soft hackle, and other regular flies, I did have some extra streamers with me but that was it. Well, on the last day, a guy gave us a perdigon black midge Pupa with a silver bead and a green tinsel rib, worked excellent on the Gallatin. Most common flies usually will work coast to coast. Definitely worth the trip, but gotta day, we do have comparable fishing on the Little J, Penns and the Delaware River systems. Thanks for watching and commenting.
Ever notice that when you are catching fish the cold disappears.
Nonewhere Listens Ha! You betcha! What wind and snow!? What cold fingers!? Naa, I’m good.....as long as I’m catching fish 😁 Thanks for watching and commenting.
Hey great stuff Scot. Only fished that area once ,Firehole below the monkey hole, Gibbon down below in the plateau, and the Madison up above. Did you all see any Grizzlies? Too concerned with the greatness of the place I'm sure. Maybe I'll go next year, but I want a armed guide with me. No joke. Two guys were killed when I was there. Anyways you had a fine vacation, blessings upon you. Tommy.
lorraine gibbons Hi Tommy! Thank you very much. Actually we did see a grizzly at one of the busy geysers, a really big boy too, but no dangers while fishing. Yes, had a great time even with the cold windy weather. Another video hopefully out next week sometime, stay tune. Thanks for watching and commenting.
I was up there this past Aug. Last year I fished the Gardiner where y'all are. Mammoth correct? This year fished Soda Butte near the east side in the Lamar Valley. Yup the guys at Park's are great! Nice vid.
Carl Moeller Hello Carl! Thanks, yep a good guys and a nice fly shop. Soda Butte was on the cold side and the Lamar was off limits cause of the Bison migration. Thanks for watching and commenting.
Fire hole river might be good too. It’s also has a lot of geyser run off. As well as the Madison in the park. If you want big fish hit the Lamar just downstream from the soda butte.
Fishin Fritch Yep yep, video coming out on the Firehole and the Yellowstone soon. We went out to the Lamar but it was running dirty and cold and we couldn’t fish it cause the area around was off limits because of the bison migration. That’s something you won’t see back East, ha!
That stream just looks absolutely incredible. Great video Scott!!! Tight lines
Upstate Angling Thanks Buddy! Glad you enjoyed it. No luck hunting yet, only does and still small bucks. Patience, patience.
Bucket list of places to fly fish. I was there 2 years ago in June and it was snowing, but guys fishing on the Madison River entering Yellowstone from West Yellowstone, MT entrance.
Gardener would be the due North entrance above Monmouth Springs. We went to Boiling River (Just south of town of Gardiner,MT) that flows into the Gardiner river. Where were you on the Gardiner River. Its a long river?
Keep posting. Did you see Bison roaming?
mark humphrey Hi Mark! Yep, this whole video is just from the Gardiner River. We did get over to fish the Firehole and a little bit the Madison, but was super windy. Oh yea, the bison migration was still going on, saw a ton of bison. Thanks for watching and commenting.
Holly smokes!!!! That place is loaded with big browns!!!! Is the average size up there like 14 to 16 or were you just lucky 😱😂😂 that is awesome Scott! Such beautiful scenery!!! Really need to explore outside of pa sometime!!! Never fished big trout water really, and all my friends are going up to places penns and Pine creek but have to keep turning them down due to college work 😭😭😭😭😭😂😂😂😂 it sucks! Hahaha. What a beautiful spot, will deffinitely have to go up to Yellowstone sometime, looks like the big brownies are plentiful up there!🎣🎣🎣🎣🐟🐟🐟🐟🐟 tight lines Scott, and keep up the great work!
Osny Fishing Adventures Hey OWEN! Hope you’re doing well in college, first things first. Well, can’t say those bigger fish are the norm, definitely had some luck too. As far as traveling to different water, yes, Pennsylvania has a lot of great trout fishing waters, try to plan ahead just for a couple streams each year. Set little goals, and when possible, take advantage of opportunities. You gotta whole life ahead of fishing memories, you already got a bunch just looking at your videos. Thanks for watching and your support. Tight Lines!
PA WOODS N WATER tight lines Scott! Next time I’m free during the week we will deffinitely have to get to the Tulp!🎣🎣🐟🐟
You know sooner or later I had to add my two cents in. Looks like you had a great time freezing your tush off out west, never had the opportunity to fish the western rivers. I see you had a guide for the first segment of your video, you guys really put his butt to work. As usual I really enjoyed the video, of course our streams have been really down for some weeks now, but the rains from last week and yesterday got them up to a more fishable condition. Hoping to get out in the near future...Again, great video Scott thanks
for inviting us along...Tight Lines
Len Sherlinski Hey Len! Nice to hear from you. Yes, our guide Trevor was great, very upbeat, fun and knowledgeable. We used him on our first day on the East side, then we had 3-4 days to ourselves. Then we used a guide on our first day on the West side then had 2-3 days to ourselves. Still trying to get together with you sometime. Thanks for watching and commenting.
Yellowstone baby!! Some nice fish Scott! How come you weren't wet wading? LOL Where u there last week for that significant snow storm?
WildBlue Discovery Yo yo Craig! What up! Weather wise, we timed it awful. Cold front came in several days earlier, turned the bite off, thankfully we had the geysers to warm up the stream a little. The Gardiner, Firehole and the Madison had feeding fish but the others we fished were really tough, water was ice cold. But we managed to still have a great trip. On the Gallatin, fish didn’t start feeding until 1pm, but once I figured them out, it was game on! Thanks for watching and your support.
So freakin awesome me an my bro plannin a trip for 2023 up there
Hi Sam! Thank you buddy. I hope those floods earlier this year didn’t mess the fishing up too much. Heard parts of the Yellowstone and the Gardiner totally rerouted. Good luck and have fun 👍🏻
Gorgeous location, well done!
Michael Capurso Thank you Michael! Glad you enjoyed it and yes, absolutely beautiful location and fish.
Fantastic video!
Johnny McCullough Thanks Johnny! Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for watching and commenting.
Big thumbs up my friend 👍👍
John Ames Hey John, thank you Buddy! Glad you enjoyed it.
Great stuff as usual Scott. Thanks for sharing. Gentle piece of feedback - calling out the length of every fish you land gets a little old and is distracting, if that's your deal maybe add a 20 inch length of plastic measuring tape to your gear, let the viewer see for themselves. A few years back I committed to taping every single fish I landed. I think you'd be very surprised and learn a lot... Either way, you're the man.
Karlin Bilcher Thanks Karlin for your feedback. I actually did that with two of my rods years back in 5” increments from 15 to 25 inches. Don’t use those rods anymore but I was very accurate with my guestimates, within an inch consistently, so I didn’t continue with the newer rods, but I hear ya’ , like you said guess it’s just what I do , sorry if it distracting, gonna be a tough habit to break, try to focus more on the big boys. I appreciate your comment. Thanks for watching.
Great video, really enjoyed it! I fished the Madison in the Park at the end of Sept. Which fly shop is Trevor from, Park’s Fly Shop?
Did you guys end up fishing the Firehole, Gibbon and Madison?
William Wojcieszek Hi William! Yes, Trevor is from Park’s Fly Shop in Gardiner. We did fish the Madison a little bit but was super windy, caught a couple. We also fished the Firehole, caught a bunch there. Two more short videos coming in a couple weeks. Thanks for watching and commenting.
Scott . . . . . . Looks like they're stacked in there like cordwood !! Glad to see you having a great time. You chose a good time to fish Yellowstone. Who is the young sherpa with the butterfly net ? : D
Caudell Peduncle Hi Caudill! Thanks Buddy! Oh yea! That first hole was super deep and loaded with fish, what a great way to start our first day of fishing. That was our guide Trevor. I rarely use guides but I never fished inside the Park, so I got a guide for our first day fishing the East side then we were on our own for 3-4 days then we used a guide when we went over to the West side the first day then on our own again for 2 more days, great experience and introduction into the Park’s fishery. Thanks for watching and commenting.
Guides should let the fisherman bring them in not go to mid stream to net.
Beautiful fishing my friend
D P Hi buddy! Yes, I agree, something that we made known before the day started with the next guide we used on the West side of the Park several days later. Thanks for watching and commenting.
Why should guides not go midstream to net?
First cast, that was nice!
Jesse Askew Hey Jesse! Ha! That was pretty cool! Thanks Buddy!
Wow......lol, I know every hole of that river
Ha ha! Great River Bobby! Had a ball out there. Glad you enjoyed it. Appreciate you watching and commenting.
Are you euro nymphing at the start?
Nuckin' Futs Hello! My buddy was actually more Euro Nymphing, he was using a all mono rig, but I was just regular nymphing using my usual technique. Thanks for watching and commenting.
Nice!
Sung Kim Thanks Sung! Glad you enjoyed it.
@@pawoodsnwater7551 hey Scott. Did you tie any special flies for the trip or did you take the usual assortment of flies? Btw the backdrop on the video is insane...mountains snowflakes and not much wind.
Sung Kim Thanks Sung! Actually, no, I did not tie any special flies for the trip, just used all my usual flies, Isonychia, Hares Ear soft hackle, pheasant, Golden Stonefly nymph, I did use an October Caddis soft hackle that I had tied up a year ago, also one fly that was given to us that worked great on our last day was a Perdigon Black midge Pupa, that was about the only new fly I used.
R u still there Scott
Fishin Fritch Yea man! Still here, just doing some archery hunting lately, no luck yet. Couple more Yellowstone videos coming, stay tune.
Like 13 from me my friend 🎣⭐🎣
