We couldn’t be more excited for the start of the 2026 Park season at Yellowstone Fly Shop. With western rivers opening early this year (May 1), anglers will have more opportunities than ever to fish some of our favorite water on this side of the park, and conditions are shaping up for an epic opener! If you’re planning to get out, now’s the time to reserve a trip with one of our guides, as dates are filling in quickly. That beingsaid, we spent the day scouting water around the park—here’s what we found:Madison River
Clarity: 4/5

The Madison is running slightly below average for this time of year at around 470cfs compared to the average at 551cfs. This is still well above the record low which was 358cfs in 1941.
The water is mostly clear, with the Gibbon being the main source of sediment in the water column. Temperatures are varying with peaks in the mid 50°s on cooler days, and up to 60°s during the recent warm-ups.

We're excited for this year's fishing season now opening on May 1st on the West side. Our books are already filling up so call and get your dates today!

(News Release) Starting this year, Yellowstone will extend the fishing season on three rivers in the park. The following waterways, located in the west side of the park, will open May 1 for fishing access, weeks in advance of the standard fishing season:

➡️ Firehole River downstream to the confluence with the Gibbon River at Madison Junction.

➡️ Gibbon River from the bridge on the Grand Loop Road at the Norris Campground entrance downstream to the confluence with the Firehole River at Madison Junction.

➡️ Madison River from the Montana-Wyoming state line upstream to the confluence with the Gibbon and Firehole rivers at Madison Junction. (The Madison River from the Montana-Wyoming state line downstream to the park boundary near the West Entrance in West Yellowstone, Montana, is open to fishing year-round.)

The fishing season on these sections of the Firehole, Gibbon, and Madison rivers will end Oct. 31, the same date as the standard fishing season in the park. Temporary, partial, or full fishing closures typically occur later in the fishing season on these three waterways due to warm water temperatures and low river flows. The earlier opening date of May 1 will align fishing access with more optimal angling and water conditions. No adverse impacts to the fisheries are anticipated with this extension.

Most other fishing areas in the park will continue to be available during the standard fishing season, which is from the Saturday of Memorial Day weekend through Oct. 31 each year.
