Several of the places I mentioned in my post are tailwaters (The Green, Madison, SF of the Snake, Henry's Fork, etc.) so their flows might be a bit more controlled if the melt is late this year.
All of these rivers are big, so there's lot's of room to spread out, even at $3 Bridge. Just get on the path and hike for a while.
Silver Creek can be AGONIZINGLY technical, so be read to be schooled now and then. I've been "educated" there more times than I care to admit.
If you stay in the vicinity of Ashton, ID, you can fish the Teton, SF of the Snake, the Madison and of course Henry's Fork all within an hour and a half of driving. You can also access Yellowstone NP, but that'll cost ya $25 (good for a week) and even more driving, with slow driving tourists trying to spot wildlife all over the park.
I could easily spend all of my summers back in the Rockies fishing these great places. Don't get me wrong, I like California just fine, but the fishing back that way can get REALLY good.
Cheers!
