Introduction The Yellowstone Drainage supports the largest inland population of native Yellowstone Cutthroat Trout on Earth. The Yellowstone Cutthroat Trout is considered a shared resource in Yellowstone Lake: Grizzly Bears, Black Bears, Bald Eagles Golden Eagles, Pelicans, Osprey, Great Blue Herons, Kingfishers, Gulls, Grebes, Terns, Loons, Mergansers, Mink, Otters, Wolves and Coyotes prey upon Yellowstone Cutthroat Trout. In the Yellowstone drainage 200,000-pounds of Yellowstone Cutthroat Trout are eaten each year by these animals and birds. Yellowstone Lake is the largest fresh water lake in the United States above 7,000-feet, it’s altitude is 7,733-feet above sea level. The Yellowstone Lake encompasses 136 square miles, it is 20-miles long, 14-miles wide and has 110-miles of shoreline. Yellowstone Lake is 320-feet deep at its deepest point. The average depth is 139-feet. Yellowstone Cutthroat Trout generally inhabit the upper 60-feet because their food source rarely occurs below that depth. The average surface temperature in August is 60 degrees Fahrenheit; the bottom the temperature never rises above 42 degrees Fahrenheit. The serenity of Yellowstone Lake can suddenly change with afternoon thunderstorms and their accompanying winds. These winds can routinely produce 3-foot waves or larger within minutes on Yellowstone Lake. With water temperatures averaging 41 degrees Fahrenheit you can develop hypothermia quickly if your vessel capsizes. Fishing season in Yellowstone Lake opens June 15th each year, usually! There are 124-tributaries the Yellowstone Cutthroat Trout use for spawning including the largest tributary, the Yellowstone River. These spawning tributaries open July 15th each year, however some remain closed all year. The use of all lead fishing tackle is band; fisherman must use Non-Toxic alternative products. The West Thumb geyser basin area has intense heat in the lake sediments, which indicate a shallow thermal system underlying this more recent caldera. If the lake level should fall just a few feet, an immense steam (hydrothermal) explosion could occur here. Mary Bay and Indian Pond now show evidence of these craters.

Introduction Henry’s Lake is a large, high altitude (over 6,000-feet above sea level), Meadow Lake. Henry’s Lake is relatively shallow and at its deepest point is only 28-feet deep at full pond. Henry’s Lake contains many underwater springs and is probably one of Idaho’s most fertile trout lakes. Henry’s Lake has some of the best trout growth-rates of any lake in the world. Henry’s Lake contains Rainbow Trout, Yellowstone Cutthroat Trout, Rainbow X Cutthroat Trout hybrids and Brook Trout. Henry’s Lake is prolific with Scuds, Leaches, Mottled Sculpins (Cottus bairdi), Damsel Flies (Odonata), Early Blue-Winged Olive (Baetis tricaudatus) and Midges (Diptera / Chironomous). Henry’s Lake is 15-miles southwest of West Yellowstone, Montana off Highway 20. It lies in a basin on the southern flanks of the Continental Divide and is the headwaters of the famous Henry’s Fork of the Snake River. Mountains surround Henry’s Lake; to the north is the Madison Range, to the southwest the Centennial Mountains and on a clear day to the southeast one can see the Grand Tetons. Henry’s Lake has only one no-fee boat ramp, Bill Frome public boat ramp; which is located on the west side of Henry’s Lake. The southeast boat ramp is located at the Idaho State Park, which allows camping for a fee. There are two-private boat ramps that charge a fee to launch a boat; located on the north shore is Wild Rose boat ramp and camping and to the northwest is Staley Springs boat ramp and camping.

Introduction Hebgen Lake is one of the most productive reservoirs on this planet. The largest tributary to Hebgen Lake is the famous Madison River. The Madison River is the world’s largest Chalkstream. The Madison River is formed by the confluence of the Firehole River and Gibbon River at Madison Junction inside Yellowstone National Park. The thousands of Thermals, Geysers and Fumerals in its headwater tributaries; the Firehole River and the Gibbon River enrich the Madison Rivers ecosystem. This enriched water flows into the Madison Arm of Hebgen Lake. The entire Madison Arm contains massive weed beds and most of the Madison Arm is less than thirty-feet deep; which is perfect for prolific insect growth. Hebgen Lake elevation is 6,630-feet above sea level and is 22-miles in length. Hebgen Lake contains Rainbow Trout, Westslope Cutthroat Trout, Brown Trout, Brook Trout, Mountain Whitefish, Utah Chubs and Sculpins. Hebgen Lake contains Brown Trout, which will break the current Montana State record. During a fisheries study on Hebgen Lake in the early 1990’s a Hebgen Lake Brown Trout Brood Stock was captured in a fish trap on Duck Creek, which is a tributary to Hebgen Lake. This Brown Trout weighed over 30-pounds. The Montana State record is 29-pounds and was caught in Wade Lake, Montana in 1966 by E. H. Bacon. The fisheries biologist who was conducting the fisheries study was known to fish the “Narrows” by Kirkwood using Utah Chubs, a large Cannon Ball weight bounced off the bottom in attempt to catch this state record Brown Trout. Hebgen Lake is world renowned for its “Gulper” fishing during the White Winged Black emergence (Tricorythodes minutus) and Speckled Dun emergence (Callibaetis nigritis) in July, August and September. During this time of the year one will find ten to thirty-float tubers in the Madison Arm of Hebgen Lake.

“Atlas of Yellowstone shows that good things happen when top-notch cartography, tasteful design, solid research, and compelling geography come together. The atlas will delight professional and armchair readers alike. Its treasure trove of maps explore wide-ranging topics—from geology to wildlife to people and the land. Better still, these well-orchestrated elements reveal a bigger idea: the place we call the Greater Yellowstone.” —Tom Patterson, former president, North American Cartographic Information Society “An extremely attractive, first-rate volume that is sure to become a fundamental resource for scholars and anyone who loves Yellowstone.”—Richard Marston, Kansas State University "While much has been written on the Yellowstone region, nothing compares to this volume in scope or presentation. This will become the standard reference and starting point for anyone interested in the history of Yellowstone."—Anthony Barnosky, author of Heatstroke: Nature in an Age of Global Warming
