YNP
The Western side of YNP is fishing great!

The Gibbon, & Madison are all fishing well despite the slight runoff with dries and nymphs. There's a smorgus board of bugs on the menu - Caddis, PMD's, BWO's, Yellow Sallies, and Stoneflies. Soft Hackles and Streamers have been producing as well. The Firehole is too warm to ethically fish. The Yellowstone is open and fishing great with dries and streamers.

**The Firehole & Madison in YNP have been reaching temperatures exceeding 70 degrees F. Please give the fish a break after 11am/12pm. There's plenty more water around!**
