Fishing Report: 

Got some good straight poop for you on the Park - with the recent cooling trend and cold evenings, the West end of the Park is in far better shape than it has been, seeing some BWO's and fish looking up. The Firehole has cooled down into the low 60's, so it's plenty fishable, the Madison is in good shape too - sort of the changing of the guard, fish are moving in early - seeing some migratory browns and rainbows in the drainages from the Lakes, so that's good news. The Northeast Corner seems to have recovered from the recent rains, and it's quite a bit cooler up here so these rains have been somewhat locked up due to nighttime temps - and that has pretty much put a damper on the terrestrial stuff for right now - when it warms up again (like up into the 70's and 80's) then you will likely get some more ant beetle hopper action, until then I would actually look at fishing the West end of the park and swinging some streamers and soft hackles and bouncing some nasty stuff along the bottom looking for a big guy.
