FISHING: Good
Madison River
Good
The upper river in the park is beginnign to heat up so you'll want to fish it in the early mornings and late evening not only for yourself but it will also be easier on the fish. The lower river into Montana is cooler and is producing more fish. There are starting to be a few hoppers and the fish are starting to look for them both in t upper and lower river. There are also PMD's and if you are into fishing terrestrials this is the palce to be. Beside the hoppers the ants and beetles can be very effective patterns that catch some big picky fish for you. Also you need to watch for Yellow Sally's and some Baetis. There are a few around and the fish can sometimes key on thoses bugs. If I had to choose one rig it would be a hopper-dropper rig with a small pheasant tail as my dropper.
Flies: Beadhead Pheasant Tail, 16-20, Prince Nymphs, 14-20, Copper Johns, 14-18, PMD Emergers, 16-18, Calibaetis Emergers, 14-18, Baetis Hatchmatcher, 20, PMD Comparadun, 16-18, Olive Midges, 18-20, Black Midges, 18-20, Baetis Emergers, 18-20, Olive Emergers, 18-20 Joe's Hopper, 6-10, Dave's Hopper, 6-10, Parachute Hopper, 8-10
