FISHING: Good
Madison River
Good
Not much has changed in a week on this great fishery. The main stay of all late summer fishing is the hoppers and they are out in full swing here. A hopper/dropper combo in the middle of the day will be your best bet to catch some fish. There can be activity found during the early A.M. and late P.M. time too. Most of the bugs are PMD's, flavs, and caddis in the evenings. There are also a few midges always present. The mid-day fishing can also be improved by nymphing and some attractors also.
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
