"I sort of look at those trips as fishing tourism in which I tour the area's rivers and bars." doesn't get much better than that, it's a wonderful combo isn't it?

Hi, I've been fishing in Yellowstone 3 times in the areas you described and its just tough fishing out there. The Madison gets a lot of pressure. I go with someone that has been been going there since 1990 and knows every single hole. I would think it would be tough to show up without some local knowledge.  Even with that knowledge, I've fished all day and gotten skunked. On the same day, the guy I go with, who is the best trout fisher I know, will catch 2-3.  

I got back today from fishing southern wyo on the platte and encampment and some creeks and lakes. With the heat, and the pending hay harvest, the ranches are diverting a lot of water for irrigation, leading to low water levels and higher water temps. The fishing was tough. Still I caught a few really nice fish and the weather was awesome and I had a great time.  I think anytime you go across the country to fish you have to accept that the fishing may be bad when you happen to show up.

So we hit some high streams with hungry brookies and 2 different prairie lakes where we caught a bunch of stocked rainbows. That took the sting off the previous bad day.

In conclusion, I think anytime you go across the country to fish you have to accept that the fishing may be bad when you happen to show up. So I sort of look at those trips as fishing tourism in which I tour the area's rivers and bars.  

If someone is going out there I can recommend some places to fish.
