Favorite early fishery - ironrod - 04-29-2015
Yellowstone lake opens on Memorial Day weekend again this year-last year was the first time (used to be June 15th). If you like to catch /eat some great tasting lake trout I highly recommend a trip up there in the first 2-3 weeks. You'll also catch plenty of large yellowstone cutthroat- some of the prettiest fish you'll ever catch!(and release [
]) last year the average cutty was 18" and fat! Some as long as 25"... Biggest mack was just shy of 9 lbs - I think we brought home just over 20 of those. Anyway share yours if you like, or just take my advice and hit this gorgeous lake![signature]

I know with sleds they banned two strokes, but haven't heard on boats.

no restrictions for motors on most of the lake, some small areas are no motor zones. just no lead , pinched barbs are the things you have to watch

Are they shallow enough to fly fish for them? I used to fish it a lot until the cutt population dropped.

Shoot may need to try and talk my dad into detail Into this instead of Henry's and fighting the crowds over memorial when we visit. I love Henry's but the opener crowds are a bit much
