About Firehole River

Flowing through Wyoming, United States, Firehole River is a river that suits anglers willing to walk a bank. Most fish at Firehole River hold in identifiable lies — the same eddies, drop-offs, and shaded undercuts produce trip after trip. After heavy rain, Firehole River can colour up and rise quickly; that's often when bigger predators come out to feed, but wading conditions get dangerous.

Fishing Techniques

  • For Brown trout

    When fishing streams, focus on seams and current breaks, where trout hold to ambush prey.

  • For Rainbow trout

    Vary your retrieve speed when using spinners to find what triggers a strike; sometimes a slow, steady retrieve works best, while other times a faster, erratic retrieve is more effective.

  • For Brook trout

    Fish upstream, casting into pools and runs, allowing your bait or lure to drift naturally with the current for best results.
