I apologize for taking such a long time to finally get a trip report put together, things have been pretty busy at school this semester.
After learning that school would not start until after labor day this year, it more or less went without saying amongst my roommates that we would take advantage of it and have a weeklong trip across Wyoming. Plans on where to fish, where to camp and when to go were changed, changed agian, finalized, and then changed one more time. We tossed around a lot of ideas and wanted to hit as much water as we could, but we ultimately decided to focus on Yellowstone NP and the Snake River drainage.
It was the last week of August and I was warned about the probability of not being able to find somewhere to camp in Yellowstone without a reservation. We were very surprised when we called the park at 4pm from Cody and were told there were at least three campgrounds with openings.
Stuck
Yellowstone Cuttbow
Getting there
Yellowstone was great with pretty solid fishing, but the consistently cold and wet weather made us decide to head south and fish outside of the park.
Finally a clear night
After getting our asses handed to us on Flat Creek, we decided to do some hiking for the rest of the trip in order to get away from the crowds and pressured fishing.
Like any fishing trip, we didn't want it to be over, so we headed out for a mini trip at some local waters upon returning to Laramie:
Needless to say we are looking forward to fishing the western side of the state again.
