Every October, Maggie Mae Stone—a former Trout Bum of the Week who guides for The Tackle Shop in Ennis, Montana—spends three days in Yellowstone National Park, chasing the big fish that run up out of Hebgen Lake and into the Madison, Firehole, and Gibbon Rivers. (Click here to see the photos from last year’s adventure.) The trip always produces a few real beauties, as you can see from these photos.
