Fishery Managers Take To The Air

The better you know what fish inherently need the better angler you become. We’re talking about cover. Fish need it. Most fish can’t live without cover. Instead of only treading the remote mountain streams, assessing fish habitat, co-op unit biologists took to the air– aerial photographs that is. Biologits used aerial photographs of segments and tributaries of the North Platte, Tongue, and Salt rivers to find an alternate way to determine the amount of cover present in streams.

Where The Elk And Bison Play: Wyoming’s Bear River State Park

Last week, I extolled the joys of a short riverside stroll along the Bear Parkway, part of a municipal greenbelt that ties the historic community of Evanston, Wyoming, to the Bear River. This tiny slice of the Great Outdoors also connects Evanston with an even larger and more impressive natural preserve: Bear River State Park.

Cody Country Trout

As the namesake of a famous scout and horseman of the Old West, Cody, Wyo., has everything a visitor would expect including some excellent trout fishing. Not just one, but a hefty handful of notable fishing waters can be found less than an hour’s drive from Cody.

Icing On The Cake

A few seasons ago, I traveled to southeastern Wyoming in late-November to try to accomplish the seemingly impossible feat of taking my third P & Y whitetail in one month. I couldn’t believe it! I’d been in the area less than an hour and I already had access to a prime spot!

Montana Snow: Visiting West Yellowstone

West Yellowstone receives 13-1/2 feet of snow each year, most of which remains until the spring thaw. Winter temperatures that regularly dip to minus-40 degrees see to that. Snowmobiles remain the primary, convenient mode of winter transportation in the area. Roads through Yellowstone are closed in winter to vehicular traffic, but 200 miles of groomed trails are open to snowmobiles.

Fishing With A Jackson Hole Legend

Longtime tackle shop proprietor Leonard “Boots” Allen made a name for himself in Wyoming by operating a business that to this day trusts customers to do the right thing. He was a fishing and whitewater pioneer in the Jackson Hole area the author had the pleasure of fishing with a few years ago.

Biking Wyoming’s Morrison Trail

Alpine lakes teeming with tasty trout, countless miles of hiking trails and breathtaking scenery in all directions make the Absaroka-Beartooth mountain complex a top destination for locals and tourists alike. There’s also a few great places that a biker can spin the pedals just outside the wilderness areas. One of my favorite of these routes is the Morrison Trail.

Fishing The Upper Green River Of Wyoming

Our destination was the upper Green River in Wyoming near Cora, and some trout fishing was on the agenda. We caught wild rainbows… and had a great time in one of the quietest places around.

Cutthroats Of Yellowstone’s Canyons

For the adventuresome, there’s no better place to tie into Yellowstone’s native cutthroat trout than the Grand Canyon and the Black Canyon of the Yellowstone River. Although it takes some work to access these waters, the payoff (in scenery as well as fishing) makes the effort worthwhile.
