Spinning in Yellowstone

My son is not big on flyfishing. Does anyone here fish Yellowstone
with spinning gear? If so, what do you use and where do you like to
fish?

Michael,
Try Panther Martin spinners in 1/64, 1/32, 1/16, and 1/8 depending on
the speed of the water. I found a yellow body with black or gold
blade works great. I really like the yellow body with red spots. A
tiny bit of red yarn on the hook works too. I found that if there are
lots of small trout being caught it helps to cut off one or two of the
trebles so there is only a single or double to get loose. Might want
to flatten the barb also.

Lift your rod tip to clear the lure from the water with 6' or so of
line out to help with line twist or use the smallest ball bearing
swivel you can find.

I know Brookies and Browns in WI streams love Panter Martins.

Do they allow spinning gear on the Yellowstone Trout waters?
