This Lake was Full of MONSTER CUTTHROAT!! Fly Fishing Yellowstone's Trout Lake (HUGE FISH CAUGHT!!)

I visited Yellowstone National Park for the first time this year with plans to see the amazing sights the park has to offer, observe the surreal wildlife, and catch the prized cutthroat trout. The cutthroat trout is a species I had admired ever since I first got into fly fishing and when the opportunity arose to fish for this fish I was more than excited. Throughout my visit to Yellowstone I filmed all the fishing I did with hopes of getting amazing footage. Little did I know the fishing would be so good I could get three videos of my trip. The next few videos I post will be part of a "mini-series" that shows my outings throughout my stay at Yellowstone. The park is beautiful and the fishing is amazing so I hope you guys enjoy these videos almost as much as I enjoy making them.
This first video of the Yellowstone series shows me fly fishing at Trout Lake in the park's Lamar Valley. This lake is very easily accessible as it's not too far of a, very scenic, drive from the northeast entrance to Yellowstone. Once hiking up the steep trail up to this alpine lake I was met with a beautiful crystal clear lake filled with huge cutthroat trout. At first, I hiked the trail without my rod but after seeing the fish roaming the banks I returned with my fly rod in hand. I started getting the hang of catching fish out of the lake and on my second outing landed a 22 inch monster cutthroat. As if that wasn't enough upon my last visit to the lake I beat that fish with a 22.5 inch cutthroat both fish being bigger than any trout I've caught in two years. This video was a ton of fun to film and I hope you all find this video entertaining and informational if planning a visit to fish the park.
