And West Yellowstone guide and fly shop owner Bob Jacklin and world-renowned angler Gary LaFontaine both know how. Calling on thirty-two years of experience, Jacklin knows the Yellowstones fish, its insects, its flies, and its moods, and he sets it all down in this concise, readable guide.

Together they lead you through the rivers seasons, its hatches, and its special reaches and runs.
