Stillwater

Top Stillwater Fly Patterns

The lakes of the Greater Yellowstone Region hold some of the region’s largest fish and offer epic fishing opportunities. Whether you are sight fishing a backcountry cutthroat lake, hunting gulpers on Hebgen, or stripping leeches for a big hybrid on Henry’s lake, the lakes have it all. I have spent plenty of time on the region’s stillwaters over the past few years, carrying a variety of patterns that work in any fishery. Check out my top stillwater flies for the Yellowstone Region and give the lakes a try this season.
