It has been about five years since the last time I fished Yellowstone lake. I used to go there several times a summer. THe lake trout have had a serious effect on the traditional cutt fishery there.
Fishing just opened and it is still fairly cool up there so I think the cutts would not be too deep yet. I have fished all over the lake but for a float tube I would just go to West Thumb and fish the shore line. I have done well in the past with all types of leeches and buggers. On one particular day I did well with stayner duck tails and prince nymphs. I do not think the fish are that picky it is just a matter of figuring out what depth they are at.
We have not decided where we are going camping next week but there is a chance I will fish it next week.
Good Luck and let us know what you find out.
