March 31 is the deadline for backcountry site lottery. Of course, you can always request a site later, but getting in early is the smart way to do things if you like to control your own future as much as possible.
Here are the links you need:
Reservation Form, you can complete the form online this year.
Backcountry Planner
Basic Trip Planner
Of course, you can always get my book on Kindle or hardcopy at Amazon from the "how-to" when comes to backcountry fishing trip planning in Yellowstone.
The Yellowstone Fly-Fishing Guide has the best details on each and every river, creek, and lake in the Park.

You should start your dreaming this weekend and get started on our backcountry site reservation for this summer in Yellowstone. You'll be fighting me for a spot in Blacktail Canyon in July and Slough Creek or Lamar River in September.
I really like looking at the maps and dreaming of what the area must look like and how big the fishing holes must be. Will be there good sunsets from camp and good early-morning light? Is it in grizzly or wolf country?
Get those great spots locked-in early with the Park and on your calendar!
On another note, the snowpack is actually doing well in the southeast part of the park, according this Billings Gazette article today. The northwest area is pretty dry.

Overall for the Upper Yellowstone looks like this:
This is a different view of what the snowpack looks like:
