I (as usual) agree with most of what Larry said.
But not necessarily this part.



We're actually agreeing here, too, I think

I was talking specifically about early June .... and in the wade only
sections

I'm not a big fan of the Madison ( largely because of my wading
weaknesses ), but last year I tried it a few times in early season ( the
wade section opens a week before the Park, I think ) and was alone in the
parking lots every time .... I did move "high teens" size fish fishing from
the bank with nymphs ( heavy rubber legs and my own version of a lightning
bug deal as a team )


As soon as the crowds show up ( late June ) the fish are pressured out where
Sandy suggests .... and for all I know ( I'm too chicken **** to try and
find out ) there may be bigger fish out there even in early season ... but
you can ( if I can anyone can ) catch nice fish from the bank ( walk
softly ) in early June
