Pine Creek
Use caution
02USGS shows 583 cfs. The flow has been falling about 16% over about 6 hours. USGS marks this reading provisional and may revise it. USGS records for this date (1919-2025, 107 readings) show a median near 91 cfs and a high-water marker near 496 cfs; today's flow is above that high-water marker. USGS 01548500 at Cedar Run is flow context for the gorge corridor. It does not report current continuous water temperature, and neither flow nor air temperature can substitute for an on-site reading. USGS 01549700 at Waterville is a separate downstream gauge and must not be presented as Cedar Run temperature evidence. Treat this as high-water fishing: wading, clarity, crossings, and boat control need a conservative check.

Madison River
Verify before fishing
03BlueStreamFly cannot confirm whether the report-wide official restriction currently applies: Hoot-owl fishing restriction on the upper Madison River (Yellowstone National Park boundary downstream to Hebgen Reservoir). This does not establish that the restriction is currently active or that the water is legally closed. Do not use score-led guidance until the official source is checked.
