The Madison river from Hebgen Dam to Cabin Creek remains good fishing for those pitching big nymphs and streamers.  The river below Quake Lake  will be  good fishing until discolored water from Quake Lake gets in.  Try bead head nymphs, San Juan worms, BWO and caddis life cycle patterns.  The north shore of Hebgen is a good bet for those presenting streamers and wooly bugger types.  The Gallatin River is high and discolored.
