Fishing Report: 
Go figure, the plug of mud has moved through the river and it's fishable today. Visibility shouldn't be a problem and we're looking forward to the river continuing to drop and clear. As this happens look for this to be the best fishery in the state this year hands down. Salmonflies are done on the Yellowstone for the year, sorry folks, it was short, sweet and nowhere near as good as the Upper Madison was this year no matter what anyone says. The river has been fishing well, lots of whitefish, up in the valley has been much better - things down low are still a little high and fast and the fishing has sucked, so I wouldn't bother down there yet. Let it get in between the magic 5,000 and 7,000 that's where I like this river...
