Here's a report I received from a Washington state flyshop yesterday:
Those of you who have plans to go to Montana this month may want to check
with the fly shop in the area. Due to very low water flows and forest
fires that are burning out of control many of the rivers and streams have
been closed to fishing. If the river isn't closed the road or highway
getting there probably is.
