Fly Fishing Lava Creek YNP Wyoming
Lava Creek is a small stream that is divided by Upper
and Lower Undine Falls into two separate types of water.
The lower section flows through a very deep canyon
consist of fast pocket water. The upper section is a
moderately inclined stream that has mostly all brook
trout. The canyon section below the falls has all the
species listed on your left but it isn't easy to access.
The brook trout water in the upper section is easy
accessed and fun to fish. You can usually catch plenty of
them within sight of your vehicle but they exist far up and
down to the falls below the bridge at the Grand Loop
Road.
The canyon section below the falls isn't fished very much
due to the difficulty in accessing it and the fact there are
so many other good streams in the same general area.
Most anglers pass over Lava Creek headed to the
Northeaster section of the park. Its a good place to get
away from everyone.
Season:
The season doesn't usually get underway until after the
runoff near the third week of June This varies from year
to year.
Spring:
There is little fishing in the spring part of the calendar
year.
Summer:

Fall:
Fall can be excellent during the brown trout spawn.
