river was named for the Civil War General John Gibbon. The river flows through some varied terrain on it's
way to merging with the Firehole River at Madison Junction.

The Gibbon River is best described by its upper section and the lower section below the ninety foot Gibbon
Falls. The Gibbon is home to Browns, Rainbows, Brookies, Mountain Whitefish, and Grayling. Fly fishers
from all over the world travel to this area to catch the large migrating Browns and Rainbows below the
Gibbon Falls. Like most of the larger rivers in Yellowstone, access along the roads make for easy walks to
fly fish.
When we traveled to Yellowstone in October of 2005, there were very few tourists and fishermen. This
made for a once in a lifetime trip. We hope to make many more once in a lifetime trips to the Gibbon and
Yellowstone.
