Yellowstone Spin Fishing Information
By John W. Uhler
Spin fishing is great in the early morning, towards evening to sunset and when the fish are hitting. There are basically three rivers that are designated for Fly Fishing Only. They are:
1. Madison River
2. Gibbon River - downstream from Gibbon Falls
3. Firehole River
This area is from the West Entrance to the Madison Junction (Madison River), north to Gibbon Falls (Lower Gibbon River - below the falls); and south from Madison Junction to below the Old Faithful area (Firehole River).
You can fish these three rivers with a spinning rod, a fly and float. You DO NOT have to use fly fishing gear.
All the rest of the park waters are open to spin fishing.
