Best time to fish Yellowstone River (Uintas)
The DWR has stocked Yellowstone River (Uintas) 16 times over the last 6 seasons, and 100% of those plants landed in June through August — the freshest fish and the easiest bite usually follow within a week or two of a stocking. Flows typically peak in June (about 392 cfs median) and settle to their lowest in February (about 47 cfs) — the wadeable, clear-water window usually opens once flows drop below the seasonal median, and the 72-hour chart above shows where today sits against it.
