- I was super lucky to end up in Yellowstone National Park just after the Yellowstone River opened for the season so took the opportunity to fish for some native Cutthroat Trout!

God's creation is so beautiful and amazing. Life, what a trip.
This looks very small to be the Yellowstone River. Was it in the park somewhere?
Cutthroats are the only trout in the river. It is nice to see there are fish returning to the river. In the 80s, there were 100s of fish and the water looked like it was boiling when a hatch happened. Lake trout in the lake decimated the cutthroats that run down from the lake to spawn. Good to see all the restoration work is paying off.
Such a good clip mate, thanks for sharing with us!
Yelllwstone is 😊one of Gods greatest handy work !
Awesome video. What flies were you using? Thx!
Hello Tom! Great video, a lot of fishing action! Yellowstone river looks great.
Sweepers/Strainers are DEADLY💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀
Definitely one of the most spectacular places I’ve ever had the privilege of fishing. Top stuff Tom. 🙏
Awesome job! Yellowstone holds a very special place in my heart, and I dream of catching huge Yellowstone cutthroat like those! I know the exact places you were in the river too, so I look forward to trying them myself! Thanks for sharing your adventure
The deer and doe were such an unexpected but awesome addition! But the cut throat were the star 🤩
The Yellowstone was running very high in July, so I didn't bother to go there to fish. Opening day was moved up from the normal ( July 15 ) to July 1, I think. Were you there at the beginning of July? I'm going back to the area in a couple of days and was thinking of fishing that river and possibly Yellowstone Lake. In any case, congrats on your successful fishing day.
Glad you were able to experience catching some cutties! They are a super cool native fish to the west USA and it's neat to see you getting to experience that. Thanks for sharing. Also, whoever said cutthroat don't fight hard was very mistaken. When they are healthy like that, and the water is cold they offer great fun at the end of a line.
They fight like brook trout, from what I see. I never caught a cutthroat because I never have been out west. But brook trout sometimes don't fight much and just thrash around and I've seen cutties do the same thing at times. I think that's why they get that reputation from some people but it's always nonsense. Plus, I know sometimes rainbow trout don't fight hard for me, they just lazily swim and don't run or jump and slowly are pulled to the net. There's not many species that don't have some lazy individuals among them. Plus, in the end, if a fish doesn't work it's ass off fighting it's actually better for the fish entirely so long as the angler isn't harvesting them.
It's the water yup
The most amazing thing to me is your ability to wade that river! That was incredible the way you moved up and down in that current over structure and so forth. I have been in that river and know a bit about how strong the current is. My hat is off to you! Thanks for the great video.
Hi, tks for sharing. Is fishing with hard lures allowed in yellowstone or its fly fishing only? Cheerz. David / Switzerland
Wow! Beautiful and Large Cutties! A Shame about the last one breaking off! I bet you need a 6 weight Fly Rod for that River.
Beautiful cut man. I caught a few of similar size when I was there and they fight like a DAWG
So good Tom,
When I fished Yellowstone park it was during salmon fly and there were massive bugs everywhere. It was such a good experience. Must do again.
We missed staying at the old faithful inn.
It looks amazing.
I will fish out west sometime. I live and fish in Maine. Was nice to watch your fish handling / respect and care for the fish.
Great video Tom. I loved fishing the Yellowstone back in 2018 when I did 2 full days in a drift boat. I’m still in awe of the sizes of the US rivers c/w ours. What flies did you use?
Wow...that was some good fishing in that area of the Yellowstone! Congratulations!
Looks like a fantastic trip Tom! Beautiful river and fish!
You are a great fly fisherman, that was " A River Runs Through It " stuff.
Mind giving us an indication of if this is very recent/ now or from another period? Thanks. Al.
Awesome vid Tom. Beautiful river, and stunning fish. What an amazing part of our world
What a day. Beautiful fish. And that doe crossing was super cool. Thanks for sharing.
Great Job mate…Pauly at Wilderness Coast on Fly in Australia 🤓👍
Great Job Tom
Always wanted to go there, very jealous
What an awesome video. The wild life is amazing and those cutthroat are such a great looking fish.
I had thought, watching a couple other videos of Yellowstone area fishing, that there weren't many fish better than say 12, 13 inches. I watched one guy who just refused to use nymphs only catch juvenile fish. But clearly, there's a significant number of serious size fish too. I had no idea, makes me want to visit there some day even more. I'd be happy chasing little trout but to know there's quite a lot of large cutties is encouraging stuff. Truly beautiful water and nature at it's finest. We can only wish we could make things so beautiful. But I simply love the chase of a big trout to avoid obstacles and what not, those are the most fun memories. You got 2 big ones in the net and had a great fight with another and lost another, you can't say that's a bad trip. For me, even if you lose one after a chase, it's so fun and worth it. But admittedly, it sure does punch you a little more when you do so much to land a fish only to lose it. But with success comes failure and that's why I try to just be glad even when I lose a beauty. It's part of fishing, you just will never land every fish.
Bro I live in gardiner. If you stick to the parks lakes the fish avg. About 20 inches.. biggest fish I've seen in the park was a 31" lake trout outta shoshone lake.. but fish the yellowstone lake. The fish avg about this size.. they cruise the shore post up anywhere witg structure and some depth. Aim for mid to late june.
Hi Tom. Quick question. When u were fishing Yellowstone river what weight rod were you euro nymphing with
Hi David, I just used a 10’6 3 weight :)
You were fortunate there were no grizzlies wanting your fish!
Awesome video man! Amazing experience!
What an awesome fight climbing over that timber!
That was a weird place to cast from ,behind the fallen tree!
Awesome fishing Tom and Greta.
great looking fish in what looks like very heavy water.
Awesome stuff Tom loved seeing those cutties
Makes me miss my home country. But thank you!
Bloody fantastic cannot wait to watch this one.
Looks like you guys had the best time!
Wow, what a river! Great video.
Amazing dude
Soo cool man!
Fantastic video Tom, well done. It really is fishing and hunting paradise over there, a great outdoor culture!
Please stop promoting our already overcrowded water.
That would be intimidating! Not jealous at all! 🦾🙏😎
