if your decision ultimately settles on the area around yellowstone, i'll
be interested in joining the group for 7-10 days. i know my way around
yellowstone, the madison and its tribs, and a few other spots nearby
within 30-40 miles of west yellowstone, fairly well based on my past
visits. but the western guys - warren, john h., steve/rw, willi, chas,
larry, or yellowstone kenny - will certainly be better resources.
montana is a big state. i think the yellowstone area offers the most
variety within a day's travel for a fishing and sightseeing trip. in any
event, there are more than enough different types of waters and fish
(small, big), including lakes, in the area to keep a normal human happy.
willi and steve know the nearby wyoming and idaho areas too, and ken
spent enough time in yellowstone to make it worth your while. you are
more likely to find a number of folks available to help with your visit
in that area, imo. while water temps and flows in late july and august
can affect the hours of fishing (and i've been there once when the
waters were low)...if i was on a flyer out west, i'd choose the montana
area around yellowstone as a focus. it's a facinating place...and
offers a variety of landscape, remote country, non-remote night-life,
good food and drink, humor, true sportsmen, art, culture, eccentric
personalities, etc... it's one of my favorite places on this earth and i
think you guys will enjoy it.

I agree w the Yellowstone area
There are numerous rivers in and out of the park.

If this happens I can take 3 guys down if they fly into Kalispell Glacier
Park Int'l AP
This may or may not be cheaper than Bozeman or West Yellowstone???
