Dianne,
I have been to YNP quite a few times and I was amazed how low the % of visitors that actually fished. In my opinion the Rangers have their hands full with policing crazy tourists that snuggle up to a buffalo for a photo. I don't think a small amount of flyfishers breaking the rules is a threat to anyone's safety. It's the priority system. I wouldn't be surprised at all that the Park is understaffed, so confronting flyfishers is not that important to them. I don't understand the 'Time Limit' rules. Why not CLOSE the water and be done with it!
I pray Montana gets some relief soon! (RAIN) It's so sad that such beautiful rivers have to be under so much stress!
