I came here to post a similar question.
My brother and I are looking to take my 65 year old father this year, maybe in the April time frame, sounds like crowds shouldn't be bad at that point?
My dad is a big fisherman, so the purpose of the trip is fly fishing, but we really only plan to do that one day. Any recommendations on where to stay where we can get some cool scenery in but be close enough to catch a few trout?

A lot of the park roads are still closed for most of April as there is usually still a lot of snow on the ground. I think it's the last weekend of April when they start re-opening roads. Pushing it to mid May would probably be better.
The lodge at Yellowstone Lake(I may have the name wrong) seemed to be where a lot of the fishermen stayed when I was there last(2003). I don't know if that was due to proximity to fishing(other than the lake obviously) or just coincidence.

You don't want to fish there in April, unless you want to midge fish and I'm not even sure how possible that will be. Late april and May are mud season when the snow melts, the rivers get very high and dirty. Dry fly fishing is really June through October and if you want to guarantee it to be good really july as late snow can make them dirty through a good part of june.
