The Madison is fishing well with the big dries. The Salmonfies are all the way up to Lyons Bridge. We're also seeing Yellow sallies and Caddis. The nymphing has been good as well with smaller stonefly patterns, yellow sallies and Caddis. Perdigons soft hackle pheasant tails. Lightning bugs. Streamer game is good with clouds. Sex Dungeons, mini Dali Lama, Daddy's Money, Trevor's sculpin, Sheila sculpin, Zonkers.

The Madison has dropped substantially in the last few days after a major rain event. The nymph bite has been solid with stone fly nymphs, San Juan worms. If you get a cloudy day strip streamers. There are BWOs and fish are looking up.

The Madison continues to fish well. Morning streamer bite has been hit and miss but they're on hoppers and flying ants in the afternoon. Fish the current in front and behind big rocks. Right down the middle has also been productive.

    Trip: Yellowstone River Float Trips

  • ★★★★★
    Nate - Thank you for putting together another awesome trip, this time down the Missouri River. Drew and Will were great guides and they worked their butts off to keep us in big fish all day. Given the high temps were in the upper 50’s and were constantly 18 - 22 mph; this did not slow these two guides down at all! They continually were changing patterns and depths. They continually rowed us across and back up stream to keep os on fish all day long. Thank you, Jim, Deborah, Tina and Terry

    Nate - We had a fabulous trip down the Madison River on Thursday. Ryan and Matt were phenomenal guides! Both worked extremely hard to put us on fish; changing patterns as needed and crossing the River to keep us in the seams. Thank you, Jim Deborah, Tina and Terry
