High water reigns supreme on the Madison and Gallatin drainages. Most small streams are high and many discolored as the cool, wet weahter slows run-off.  Big nymphs can work on the Madison below Quake Lake. Try to find quieter water, like behind rocks.  Midging is the most effective  way to fish Hebgen Lake.   Also try streamers and wooly buggers from boats and shorelines.
