Yellowstone Fly Fishing Volunteer Program, with Alan Wyosnick
(This presentation will be made in person.)
 Club member Alan Wyosnick will talk about the experience he had during August 2023 with the Yellowstone Fly Fishing Volunteer Program (YFFVP). This unique fly-fishing opportunity is available to almost everyone and is located within one of our most beautiful national parks. The Yellowstone Fly Fishing Volunteer Program (YFFVP) is directed by Yellowstone National Park fisheries biologists.
Each year, volunteers from around the United States donate their time and resources to travel to Yellowstone to go “fly fishing for science”. The volunteers are led by the YFFVP coordinator to Yellowstone’s rivers, creeks, and lakes to conduct angling fieldwork and research by collecting and recording data from the fish they catch. Over the course of its 21-year history, the YFFVP has become a vital and unique tool to aid park biologists as they work to manage and better understand Yellowstone’s prolific and diverse fisheries. During his presentation, Alan will also give a quick overview of the ongoing Yellowstone Lake restoration project. It is focused on reducing the number of non-native Lake Trout and simultaneously restoring the native Cutthroat population in the lake and its tributaries.
Alan Wyosnick has been a member of the DVFF since 2019 and has been fly fishing for over 50 years throughout the U.S. and several other countries. Pictured above is Alan with California’s world-famous McCloud Rainbow.
