The only luck I've had a Hebgen is trolling rapalas directly across from the Yellowstone Holiday RV Campground, in the narrows just west of the Grayling Arm. I've seen and heard of others catching gulpers on flies in the Madison and Gralying Arms. Stop in at the campground and ask the managers what's working and they will give you some guidance - good people. FYI I've never caught a thing on the main body of water in the westerly end. The Lonesomehurst campground (public, just off the Madison Arm) is a good place to stay, both this campground and Yellowstone Holiday have good boat ramps. I'm just guessing, but the water temp may have risen resulting in poor fishing. This lake is usually considered an early spring fishing spot.
If you've got a small boat and are adventurous, give nearby Quake Lake a try, there are some huge fish in there, amongst the many many dead trees remaining after the 1959 quake dammed the river and formed the lake.
