I'm planning on fishing in Yellowstone Park in October - specifically, the
Bechler area - extreme south west corner. The season in Yellowstone ends
the first weekend in November. FWIW there are a number of streams open all
year in Idaho - one such stretch is Portneuf river between Lava Hot
Springs and American Falls.

I've fished the Bechler. It's pretty cool -- a classic meadow stream
with very large and VERY spooky fish. Try downstream presentations with
hoppers and other terrestrials. I'd wait (and wait and wait) for a fish
to reveal itself with a rise before even trying a presentation. This is
the right time of the year -- earlier, it's lousy with mosquitoes.

You can go below the falls and catch lots of small fish. The big ones
are above the falls.

Watch out for the bears.
