[SPRING IN MONTANA](http://www.flyanglersonline.com/articles/Staff Editorials/2011/staffeditorials20110509.php)

I thought our readers might like to see what the Yellowstone River south of Livingston looks like the first week of May 2011. Currently, as of May 7, 2011, the snow water equivalent in the Yellowstone basin is 152% of average, and the runoff has not started yet. May and June are typically wet months in Montana so it appears that we will be experiencing high water well into July.

We are running into the same situation here in Utah. Last time I checked Snotel site near the headwaters of the Logan was at 180% of normal snowpack, and we just got more snow up there the other day. Could be an interesting month.
