Normal 0 The Gallatin River originates from the northwest flank of Three Rivers Peak from Gallatin Lake in Yellowstone National Park. Gallatin Lake is just over 9,000-feet above sea level. The Gallatin River flows 13-miles northwesterly, before it begins to run parallel with Highway 191. For the next 12-miles the Gallatin River remains within Yellowstone National Park and is easily accessed from the many roadside pullouts along Highway 191. In this 12-mile section of the Gallatin River there are three significant tributaries, Fan Creek, Bacon Rind Creek and Specimen Creek entering the river. These three tributaries are used by the Gallatin River Westslope Cutthroat Trout, Rainbow Trout, Brown Trout, Grayling and Mountain Whitefish for spawning and theses tributaries supply recruitment back into the Gallatin River. The Gallatin River area within Yellowstone National Park is full of wildlife: Elk, Bison, Moose, Deer, Black Bears, Grizzly Bears, Wolves, Coyotes, Beavers, River Otters, Bald Eagles, Ospreys and Great Blue Herons. There are trails up every tributary which makes for easy access into the back county. The Gallatin River from it’s source, Gallatin Lake downstream to Highway 191 is icy cold, small and contains little habitat for large trout. From Fan Creek downstream to the Yellowstone National Park boundary the Gallatin River is lined sparsely with willows, pine forest and meadows. This section contains superb trout habitat, riffles, runs, pools and brush lined undercut banks. From the Yellowstone National Park boundary downstream to Bozeman, Montana the river flows swiftly through Gallatin Canyon. This section of the Gallatin River sees a lot of guided whitewater float trips during spring run-off and most of the summer.

Yellowstone National Park is one of the most crowded parks in the country, and for good reason: breathtaking scenery, amazing wildlife, and for anglers, great fishing. Yet, even a short hike from the road or trailhead into the backcountry of the park and the surrounding area can put anglers into even better fishing, often in solitude. This guidebook focuses on backcountry fishing opportunities in Yellowstone Park and surrounding areas in Wyoming, Montana, and Idaho (Greater Yellowstone Area). In addition to full color photographs of the destinations, the author includes essential information for each stream or lake, including maps and written directions, flies, gear, and timing.

ISBN: 0307425991

From the acclaimed author of Ninety-two in the Shade and Cloudbursts—the stories of Gallatin Canyon are rich in the wit, compassion, and matchless language for which Thomas McGuane is celebrated. Set mostly in famed Big Sky Country, McGuane brings us an "astonishing" (The New York Times Book Review) collection in which place exerts the power of destiny. A boy makes a surprising discovery skating at night on Lake Michigan; an Irish clan in Massachusetts gather around their dying matriarch; a battered survivor of the glory days of Key West washes up on other shores. Several of the stories unfold in Big Sky country: a father tries to buy his adult son’s way out of virginity; a convict turns cowhand on a ranch; a couple makes a fateful drive through a perilous gorge. McGuane's people are seekers, beguiled by the land's beauty and myth, compelled by the fantasy of what a locale can offer, forced to reconcile dream and truth.
