I've been getting the itch to don my waders, tie a few flies and go fly fishing. Having just watched a great program on fly fishing Yellowstone, the itch just became much more dominant.
We visited West Yellowstone a couple of years ago in August and decided we wouldn't even try to enter the park - way too many visitors and lots of kids. The program I watched said that West Yellowstone's population "swells" from a norm of 1,000 to 1,500 in peak season. This doesn't sound right to me - seems way too low by at least an order of magnitude.
The video of the guy fishing the Yellowstone and the Firehole had no other fisherfolk in sight. Is this what I could expect? Or should I plan on wall-to-wall fly casters?
I know that Grizly RV Park is a favorite location of forumites (they had no openings when we were there) and the West Yellowstone KOA was an outright zoo and a ripoff when we stayed there. Any other campgrounds convenient to the park?
Do folks drive their cars into the park, or are you limited to public transport?
TIA.
