Soda Butte is the Lamar's roadside tributary — pocket water and runs you can step into right off the Northeast Entrance road, holding native Yellowstone cutthroat that don't make you work too hard for the privilege. It clears earlier than the main Lamar, so when a storm has the big river the color of coffee, this is often where you go to actually catch something. Barbless catch-and-release under Park rules.
