Looks like the river gods have granted us a few more chances before runoff.  The Yellowstone dropped like a rock over the last two days, and while it has come up slightly to 4,470 CFS, the visibility is a good two feet.  Plenty of caddis in the bushes still should the sun pop out, especially near Mill Creek bridge.  We'll see what happens this weekend, but today definitely looks like a good day to be on the Stone in the Valley.  In town, the water is more muddy, mostly due to Billman Creek, but we still have between a foot to a foot and a half of vis.  After this weekend the Yellowstone should finally be in full runoff as we have quite a few days forecasted in the high 70's and even 80's.  The snow pack in the Upper Yellowstone basin is a whopping 130%.  We'll see how fast the snow comes down, but at this point we should have plenty of water and a very healthy fishery this summer!
