Book excerpt: This beautiful and definitive guide brings together the world's lead leading expert on North American trout and salmon, Robert Behnke, and the foremost illustrator in the field, Joseph Tomelleri. North America is graced with the greatest diversity of trout and salmon on earth. From tiny brook trout in mountain streams of the Northeast, to cutthroat trout in the rivers of the Rockies, to Chinook salmon of the Pacific, the continent is home to more than 70 types of trout and salmon. How this came to be, how they are related, and what makes them unique -- and so breathtaking -- is the story of Trout and Salmon of North America. The more than 100 illustrations of trout and salmon by Joseph Tomelleri showcased here exhibit a genius for detail, coloration, and proportion. Each portrait is made from field notes, streamside observations, photographs, and specimens collected by the artist. The result is a set of the most accurate and stunning illustrations of fish ever created. Robert Behnke has distilled 50 years of his research and writing about trout and salmon in completing this book. No one understands better than Behnke the diversity and conservation issues concerning these fishes or communicates so lucidly the biological wonders and complexities of their particular beauty. Also included are more than 40 richly detailed maps that clearly show the ranges of populations of trout and salmon throughout North America. An irresistible delight for anyone who appreciates natural history, Trout and Salmon of North America is a master guide to the natural elegance of our native fishes.

Download or read book Yellowstone Lake Yellowstone National Park USA written by Gary David Blount and published by [email protected]. This book was released on with total page 82 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Normal 0 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.

Download or read book Gallatin River Yellowstone National Park USA written by Gary David Blount and published by [email protected]. This book was released on with total page 72 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Normal 0 The Gallatin River originates from the northwest flank of Three Rivers Peak from Gallatin Lake in Yellowstone National Park. Gallatin Lake is just over 9,000-feet above sea level. The Gallatin River flows 13-miles northwesterly, before it begins to run parallel with Highway 191. For the next 12-miles the Gallatin River remains within Yellowstone National Park and is easily accessed from the many roadside pullouts along Highway 191. In this 12-mile section of the Gallatin River there are three significant tributaries, Fan Creek, Bacon Rind Creek and Specimen Creek entering the river. These three tributaries are used by the Gallatin River Westslope Cutthroat Trout, Rainbow Trout, Brown Trout, Grayling and Mountain Whitefish for spawning and theses tributaries supply recruitment back into the Gallatin River. The Gallatin River area within Yellowstone National Park is full of wildlife: Elk, Bison, Moose, Deer, Black Bears, Grizzly Bears, Wolves, Coyotes, Beavers, River Otters, Bald Eagles, Ospreys and Great Blue Herons. There are trails up every tributary which makes for easy access into the back county. The Gallatin River from it’s source, Gallatin Lake downstream to Highway 191 is icy cold, small and contains little habitat for large trout. From Fan Creek downstream to the Yellowstone National Park boundary the Gallatin River is lined sparsely with willows, pine forest and meadows. This section contains superb trout habitat, riffles, runs, pools and brush lined undercut banks. From the Yellowstone National Park boundary downstream to Bozeman, Montana the river flows swiftly through Gallatin Canyon. This section of the Gallatin River sees a lot of guided whitewater float trips during spring run-off and most of the summer.

Download or read book Gibbon River Yellowstone National Park USA written by Gary David Blount and published by [email protected]. This book was released on with total page 66 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Normal 0 The Gibbon River originates from two-lakes, Grebe Lake and Wolf Lake just south of Observation Peak in Yellowstone National Park. The Gibbon River is a small meandering stream flowing through a Lodge Pole Forest from Norris Junction upstream to its headwaters and is primarily a Brook Trout and Grayling fishery. This area is known to be inhabited by numerous Grizzly Bears and Moose so beware in fishing this area. Below Norris Junction to Gibbon Falls the Gibbon River is lined with Thermals and Geysers and has increased in size due to the additional water from Solfatara Creek, Geysers and Thermals. This section meanders through Elk Meadows, then through a windy narrow canyon and is primarily a Brown Trout fishery with a few Grayling and Brook Trout mixed in. Below Norris Junction is the beautiful Norris Geyser Basin and everyone should visit this area. The section of the Gibbon River below Gibbon Falls to its confluence with the Firehole River, which creates the Madison River, is primarily a spawning and rearing area for Brown Trout, Rainbow Trout and Mountain Whitefish migrating up from Hebgen Lake in the spring and fall. Overall the Gibbon River has every type of trout water a fishermen could want. The entire drainage is full of wildlife: Grizzly Bears, Black Bears, Elk, Moose, Bison, Deer, Coyotes and Wolves.
