Where to Fish Blacktail Lake


Yellowstone cutthroat trout are planted every 8 years. Some natural reproduction may occur but the recruitment appears to be sporadic. The fish have good growth rates. There are several fire rings and some established campsites and the area appears to receive heavy use. Only lake in the area with a trail to it.
