The Strangest Spring Runoff...

Ok this is truly a weird spring runoff. The rivers here in Southwestern Montana are in flux in a big way. I spent the month of May living in the Lucky Ewe cabin situated right on the Gallatin river. I watched the river come up, come down, blow out, dirty, clear, green, fishable, not fishable to just ? Folks, true spring runoff has not even started. There is still a lot of snow locked up in the high country.
I had reports of boats over on the Yellowstone yesterday. The fishing reports were mixed but if you want to experience some weirdness, head over to the Yellowstone in June. Caution: The river is muddy below the sheilds so I would stick to the valley. The river gauge at Carters bridge said it was at 7,000 cfs.
Your most stable and productive option right now is still going to be the Missouri below Holter dam. We appreciate any reports you may have for us. We will amend this post as conditions change but for now, hang on folks and enjoy this wild ride.
