Yellowstone in September

I know this question has been asked before but I didn't save the answers.
Planning a 4-6 day fishing trip into Yellowstone 3rd to 4th week in September.
The less contact with the public the better. Any advice would be greatly
appreciated.

Anywhere in the northern climes of the US is apt to be darn near
deserted after the Labor Day weekend. If you let the whole week with
Labor Day in it go by, you'll have comparatively small competition for
camping and fishing. It won't be empty, but if you'd see it before,
you'd think it was.

I watch the Old Faithful live camera regularly and seldom see snow in
early September out there. Sometimes even into October it'll be
pretty clear of snow. But you can never tell. Keep an eye on the
weather forecasts. I have seen snow there in late August and reports
of roads closed where they go through mountains. Didn't last long,
but, again, keep an eye on the weather forecasts. If camping, take
along nice warm gear and, if possible, a 4 season tent. If not, a
good sturdy 3 season tent will probably do.

I'll pitch in on this one. I and my wife spent a week up there in late
sept. a few years ago, maybe 3 or 4. After the fishermen and before
the skiers. Had the place all to ourselves practicly. There is a ski
lodge that will open up for ya and the prices are pretty reasonable.
Big living room, fireplace, kitchen, two bedrooms, the whole enchalada.
Big Sky Ski or something like that. Just south of that on the road to
yellowstone (from Bozeman), maybe 3-5 miles on the east side, there
is/was a flyshop owned by a somewhat young couple that took me under
their wings. $20.00 bought me the use of one of his rods, waders,
boots, vest, and flys, a one day licence and a ton of advice of where
to go for the day. Fished the Gallitin River and kicked some butt. If
memory serves me right, it was the stretch of water that was the back
drop for the film "River Runs Thru It". Might be just local hearsay
but that's not what I tell my friends! Bill in Va.
