.. Autumn brings two distinctly different types of catching to Yellowstone National Park.
.. With the cooling of the Firehole River, The fish become ravenous in their rush to feed before the winter hiatus. Both surface activity and subsurface feeding becomes frenzied and provide the easiest catching of the season.
.. We've added some new, (to us,) flies for this time of year: both surface and subsurface.
.. The primary Firehole River flies may be used both on the surface and down low.  Grease 'em or weight 'em depending on your mood. Of course if the fish show a preference follow their lead.

.. The action for the spawners running up the Madison River is nearly 100% subsurface fishing. Finding the fish and enticing them to strike is variable and demands mastery of both technique and patience.
.. Stripping, swinging, drifting, and even down stream chugging may be required.
.. It behooves the fisher to cover lots of water with many techniques to gall one of the submarines from the reservoir.
.. Remember that many a fish has been lost to seasonal leaders and tippets that have not been changed for these exuberant fish.

.. There is really no secret to fishing in the fall in Yellowstone National Park.
.. Arise early, cover the water, present precisely, and persist. The dance partners are waiting.
