The Yellowstone River has finally cleared up and currently one of the best fishing options. There are still a few Salmon and Golden stoneflies hatching, very good caddisfly hatches and some hopper, carpenter ants and Japanese beetle activity. The Madison and Firehole in the park are too warm to fish. The Gallatin has cooler water temperatures and is still a okay choice. The upper Gibbon is also okay. The Gardner, Lamar, and Slough Creek are now in good shape and will become a prime choice for the next month.
