A spectacular little mountain stream, the Yellowstone, drains from the highest of Utah's peaks and is home to good populations of native cutthroats and wild brook trout, browns, and rainbows.
Fishing prospecting nymph patterns such as princess nymphs, frenchies, and lightening bugs is proving most effective. Streamers such as woolly buggers, leeches, and zonkers through deeper runs and bends is also effective. In the evening parachute midges and parachute adams patterns are effective. In the afternoon try parachute midges and Griffith's gnats.
Highs in the 30s and lows in the single digits. Only a small chance of snow throughout the week.
