Fly Fishing Blacktail Deer Creek
Wyoming YNP
The Blacktail Deer Creek is a small, fast pocket water
stream that begin near Blacktail Plateau in Yellowstone
National Park and flows into the Black Canyon of the
Yellowstone River. The Grand Loop Road between
Mammoth and Tower crosses the creek. A trail follows it
down to the Yellowstone River, a distance of about four
miles. You can also fish the creek upstream from that
point.
Its trout are most all brook trout that average about six
inches. The stream flows through a rugged area
surrounded by huge rocks and lots of brush. It is fairly
difficult to navigate the stream. We usually hike
downstream and fish it back up stream from the bed of
the creek.
It is usually fairly easy to catch lots of brook trout on the
dry fly during the summer and early fall season. Small
attractor flies will usually work but we use our Perfect Fly
PMD duns usually. Small beetles and ants also work well.
Season:
The Yellowstone fishing season is open before this little
stream clears up and becomes warm enough to fish.
Spring:
Blacktail Deer Creek usually isn't fishable during the
short Spring season.
Summer:
Summertime is the best time for fly fishing Blacktail Deer
Creek
Fall:
Early Fall can be good but the weather will turn too cold
for good fishing before the Yellowstone Fishing season
ends in this area of the park.
