Montana Madison River Fishing has been best in the mornings and slows down in the afternoons. This is because the water temperature rises and the fish shut down. Get there early and look for PMD’s and caddis. Nymphing is good with flashback PT’s and three dollar dips #16 and #18. Fish should start looking for […]

We are now starting to transition into the dry fly time. Rivers are coming into shape as runoff recedes and hatches are going on. We are seeing PMD’s, caddis, green drakes, flav’s, salmonflies, golden stones, and callibaetis. Almost all the waters are fishing well, just have to wait for the northeast corner to clean up […]

Madison in Montana Since the opener, last Saturday fishing has been great. The water is up and off color, but that puts the fish near the banks and they are hungry. Cabin and Beaver Creeks are dumping in dirty water and the West Fork is real brown. We have been using big rubber leg stoneflies […]

The best flies have been glo-bugs, orange and pink. Some days they favor one color over another. Also reports of red San Juan Worms doing well. On […]
