Top Terrestrial Fly Patterns
As the hatches dwindle and hillsides dry out, the terrestrial season begins in the Greater Yellowstone Region. Hoppers, ants, and beetles make for some of the most exciting and memorable dry fly fishing of the season. Watching a big brown emerge from an undercut bank and engulf your hopper pattern is hard to beat, and you want to have the right fly for the situation. Check out my top terrestrial fly patterns for the Yellowstone Region.
