Fly Fishing Straight, Winter, Panther,
Obsidian and Indian Creeks YNP
Wyoming
These small streams all flow together near the Indian
Creek Campground area of the North Loop Road near
the Gibbon River Bridge. All of them have a good
population of small brook trout.
These small streams are very easy to access, yet they
provide some privacy from other park visitors if you want
to travel a ways off the road. The creeks are a great
place to take those youngsters who you want to teach to
fly fish because they can expect to get plenty of strikes
and even catch some fish. They are also great just to
give anyone a feel for catching trout on the fly.
The technique for catching the small brook trout is fairly
simple. The little trout always seem to be hungry and
strike the fly with vigor. You can use generic or attractor
flies. Most of the time they will readily take dry flies but
you can catch them on nymphs and wet flies.
We suggest that you stay low and as well hidden as
possible to keep from spooking the trout. Other than
that, there isn't a lot to catching them. Short, upstream
cast work best.
Season:
The fishing season last from near the first of June until
the first of November.
Spring:
These stream will too high and cold to fish during the
Spring.
Summer:
Summertime is the best time to the small brook trout
streams.
Fall:
Early Fall is a good time to fish this area of the park. We
wouldn't suggest late Fall.
