Conditions are improving.  The Madison River PMD emergence has begun.  The river is still a bit high, but fishable. The Firehole River remains very good fishing for top water approaches.   PMDs, BWOs, caddis and a few sallys are the fare.  Duck and Cougar creeks are fishable.  Water in both is in great shape. Some PMD’s are appearing on both, but wet flies bring the best action.  Ice is off Lewis and Shoshone lakes. Trolling streamers or fishing scuds and leeches over submerged weed beds bring action. Try streamers on the Lewis River between the two lakes.  Fall River Basin streams are weeks away from fly-fishing as there is much run-off to come down.
