You'll probably want to avoid the west side rivers - Madison (in the Park), Firehole, Gibbon as they'll probably be too warm by then. Think terrestrials.

get Walt Wiese's Fly fishing Yellowstone Country. it is a must read for anyone fishing Yellowstone.
Best,
Steve
it's all good drifts
Another vote for Walt's "Fly Fishing Yellowstone Country". Packed with info about fishing the park, it's likely to answer most if not all your questions. See it on Amazon.com,

One fly, Grasshopper.
After tying tons of hoppers that winter, we also saw very few last summer. On two trips up Slough, I saw only a couple hoppers, Probably all drowned with all the rain we had. Some forecasts show a drier summer so pack some. We saw some good PMD and BWO hatches. Get Walter's book and check Parks website.
