Every year, I try my hardest to make it out to Yellowstone National Park. This time my fiance and I headed there to hike some terrain, float some rivers, and (per my request) check out the infamous Slough Creek meadows. I had a chance to fish for some native Grayling and smaller Yellowstone cutthroat on the many meandering streams found within the park in the past, but I never had a chance to fish the meadows I had heard so much about.
The hike was grueling and long. We could not help but think about the signs that bears (one of which being a grizzly) had been seen in the past two days on that trail. It was all worth it though, and we eventually made it to the beatiful meadows we had heard so much about. The cutthroat were hard to find, but when we did figure out where they were holding it was “game on”. We probably only landed ten fish, but we missed hook sets on over twenty hefty cutthroats. This is definately a place to look into….just watch out for the bears.
