Hey Tristian avid watcher and fisherman here do you use level line? How does it cast in the wind? I live in the PNW, washington specifically and its windy quiet often. I often have trouble casting into the wind with furled line. Would level line help
Yes, I use level line almost exclusively. It does OK in the wind. It's not better than furled line in that regard. Look into tenkara-specific floating lines. Those are heavier and work better in the wind. I've used ones from Zen Tenkara and Dragontail, and both work well. The Zen one is heavier and better in the wind, but the Dragontail one is better to cast.
Here in Spain we have seen many documentaries depicting the good sized cutthroat trout of Yellowstone when they are spawning. I gess It must be very difficult to get legal permission to fish in such an important National Park. Once more an excellent video. You are a lucky man for living these wonderful fishing adventures. Congratulations.
Once again, a fantastic day of fishing! I caught greyling while fishing in Alaska last year and they are a blast to catch as well! Good luck in your pursuit! Hope to see some in your next video!
It sure is pretty there this time of year! I tried fishing Yellowstone Lake from the bank about 15 years ago for a few hours is all I had didn't catch anything but to say you went fishing inside Yellowstone there's something LOL. As I recall had to buy a separate license from the feds to fish there is that still the way it is? I love fishing for Cutthroat they are usually real fighters and those you caught were fat! Awesome video good job thank you for sharing!
Yes, you have to buy a Yellowstone fishing license. It's good for the entire park, even though the park covers three states. I think it's a pretty good deal.
Yes and yes. It has the Yellowstone cutthroat, and it is a different subspecies. Yellowstone also has Snake River fine-spotted cutthroat trout, which is kind of a subspecies of YCT.
Idaho classifies the Snake River and Yellowstone to be two different species, just like Wyoming does. The difference lies within the Snake River cutt. Wyoming says there are two different subspecies of snake rivers. Large spotted and fine spotted. Idaho says the fine spotted and large spotted are too closely related genetically to be classified as two different species. If it is true they are related, then many moons ago the rivers in Wyoming, Idaho, Nevada, and Utah had to be connected to allow the yellowstone cutt to be classified as one species because Utah and Nevada have them in the Raft Rivers and Goose Creeks and those states classify them as yellowstone cutts. Then Wyoming calls them different species, which makes sense since the Yellowstone River flows east and the Snake flows west. Then Idaho calls them Snake rivers. To add to the confusion Utah, Wyoming, and Idaho recognize the bear river cutt as a different species than the bonneville cutt because many moons ago the Bear River use to flow into the Snake, but the isolation of the population from that time to when the Bear River flows into the bonneville basin caused a completely different species. So through evolution the cutts in the Bear River became their own subspecies from snake rivers. Then Utah goes on to say that the bonnevilles have two lineages, blue and green lines. My question is how does Utah and Nevada come off saying they have native yellowstone cutts since their tributaries are running into the Snake when Wyoming and Idaho say they have snake river cutts?
Beautiful close ups of the fish.

Do you enjoy when you have a fish on if it’s a fighter or fish that you could land with no fight?
I love how you thank the fish. Is there such thing as a bad fish? Catching them is just a gift nature gives us. Thank you for sharing.
I'm happy with whatever fish I can catch!

Fishing is actually very popular in Yellowstone National Park. You need a permit, but it is very easy to get.
Once again, a fantastic day of fishing! I caught greyling while fishing in Alaska last year and they are a blast to catch as well! Good luck in your pursuit! Hope to see some in your next video!
You won't see me catch some in the next video, but you will see it in an upcoming one 👍
Not many, but good size average........great video
Thanks 👍
I can hear traffic in background I’m guessing it’s the gibbon river I need to go upstream towards grebe lake !
Wrong 😁
What equipment do you use on your rod? Would you use a float?
wanna see that graylings tightening your line
Don't worry, you will in a future video 👍

Doesn’t Yellowstone have the “Yellowstone cutthroat” is sub species? Different from west slope
Yes and yes. It has the Yellowstone cutthroat, and it is a different subspecies. Yellowstone also has Snake River fine-spotted cutthroat trout, which is kind of a subspecies of YCT.

what brand/model is your net??
That information is in the video description. Thanks for watching.
What eqipment do you use on your rod
Charlie Whitfield his description usually says what gear he’s using, you could use a sighted and a dropper on a longer tenkara line and pole.
Go get the greyling. We want to see you succeed
Stay tuned 😁
