Our destination is Slough Creek, Yellowstone National Park and our guest is expert guide and outfitter, Max Yzaguirre, owner of Montana Angling Company. Slough Creek is hallowed ground for the serious fly angler, and for good reason.  Famous for sight fishing with dry flies to wild and abundant Cutthroat trout in beautiful mountain meadows, Slough Creek provides an off the charts spring creek-like experience in a wilderness setting for those anglers willing to do some hiking. Max has been guiding in the Park for 10 years and gives us the lowdown on Slough Creek from top to bottom including top flies, which meadows to fish when, Cutthroat trout behavior, and why a downstream presentation is a must.  Bonus:  the best streams to target in Yellowstone National Park, plus a close encounter with a big Griz!
