Yellowstone National Park is a fly-fishing paradise, with over 1,000 miles of rivers and streams teeming with trout. The park is home to three species of trout: rainbow trout, brown trout, and cutthroat trout. The cutthroat trout is the only trout native to Yellowstone, and it is one of the most beautiful fish in the world.
