"The Yellowstone area has a long history of superb fly fishing for trout. Excellent aquatic insect populations are on factor that has contributed mightily to this fishing. an incredible wealth and diversity of aquatic insects thrive in the lakes and rivers here, and it is possible to find fish feeding on insects every day of the season". "There is surprisingly little information available on the insect hatches of this area in published fly fishing books. In Fishing Yellowstone Hatches we've attempted to describe the important hatches of this area, based on out experiences and those of friends. In an area as vast as Yellowstone it would take several lifetimes to assemble a complete list of all the hatches. We feel our list is a worthwhile beginning, all thewhile acknowledging its shortcomings". "We include all of Yellowstone Park. West of Yellowstone Park we include the area from Henry's Fork of the Snake in Idaho north to Ennis, Montana. The Gallatin River Drainage is included in the north to the point where the Gallatin River leaves Gallatin Canyon. Many of the hatches we write about occur over a much larger area, and the information we give (except, perhaps, the emergence dates) should be found useful outside the boundaries we mention".
