More Precip

IT'S VERY WET OUT THERE
New Mud Plug

-------
.. This has got to be quick. The bugs are loving the rain. The fishers are loving the rain. The rivers are a lovely color and getting deeper.
==> Madison Lake at 7-mile bridge is growing.
==> Biscuit Lake is growing.
==> The Gallatin River is a slurry like never seen before.
==> Trail to Grebe Lake is mud soup.
==> Cabin Creek pushed it's mud plug into the Madison River: raised water 2 feet.
==> Firehole River sets another discharge record.
==> Gibbon River now blown with a new discharge record.
==> Gibbon Lake in National Park Meadows is forming at the bridge due to hydraulic damning.
==> Bison on road seeking relief.
==> Gawker blocks abound.
==> Construction zone at the Gibbon Bridge in need of massive cleanup.
==> More rain forecast: daily drizzle, broken clouds, some sun, afternoon thunder showers - yum yum!
.. Advice: #1] tie some flies, #2] throw another log on the fire, #3] get out the rain gear, fish deep, tell stories, wait for the bugs, pretend that you enjoy it.

P.S. Check out the last 30 day animation for the Yellowstone River discharge on the Lone Tree Ranch Weather Camera, HERE.
