Join us for your vacation fishing trip by horseback as we explore the Lamar River Valley. The Lamar River Valley within Yellowstone National Park is the most common place for watching wolves, bear, and American bison interact.
From where the Lamar River leaves the upper Lamar Canyon and flows to join the Yellowstone, visitors can see spectacular wild life interactions on a daily basis from the safety of their cars.
However, for the
more adventurous, ride with us up the upper Lamar and see the wildlife in a more intimate setting as buffalo stroll down the trail 100 yards from our campsite watch bears forage on the hillsides, and wolves dog trot along in search of prey.
This trip is an adventure fisherman’s paradise with scenery as wild as the animals. Our trail starts at the Soda Butte Trailhead, where the Lamar River meets the road. We’ll travel up the Lamar River, ford Cache Creek. Beyond this we will ford Calfee Creek traveling up to a camp on Miller Creek where you’ll find the fishing excellent. Fishing the Lamar rivals that of Slough Creek. Big deep pools abundant with healthy size cutthroat trout are scattered throughout the river. We will also be fishing Miller Creek for 10 -13 inch cutthroat trout. Actively feeding fish and nice hatches characterize this fishing trip. One of our camps will put us at the top of the Lamar Canyon for some more great fishing and beautiful scenery. Our last camp will be on Mist Creek where there are a good number of 10 inch cutthroat to fish. Our final day we will ride out toward Yellowstone Lake down Pelican Valley along Pelican Creek.
On this trip you will see where one of the hottest and most violent fires of 1988 began which was caused by a lightning strike on Clover Creek across from where we will fish. At night we will discuss many things from fire ecology to the effects of the reintroduction of the wolves. We will discuss the rich history of the Nez Perce Indians who were native to this area. They fled down the drainage with 600 men, women, and children and twice that many horses. Other topics of interest are wildlife management, buffalo, brucellosis, the Army managing the Park and the Folsom Peterson Cook expedition of 1869.
Our rides will be 10 to 12 miles a day which will take us to designated fishing spots. You are invited to a fishing trip that rivals few and will leave a lasting impression of Yellowstone National Park on your memories.
