Yellowstone National Park

Water has warmed up to a level on the Madison and Firehole where these are better left alone until Fall. Gibbon is fishing well in the canyon with attractor dries, caddis, pmd's. In the upper meadows there are drakes on the water along with pmd's and caddis. The NE corner is still high and off color. Slough should come into shape quickly once this last front moves through. Lamar and Soda Butte will follow shortly after. Look for Drakes, Caddis, and PMD's to be on the menu as these waters drop and clear. Yellowstone River opens on July 18th.
