The temps have dropped way down and the water temps have followed. Good news for our amazing trout fisheries. The Madison is holding strong with a solid nymph bite. Small beadheads and Perdigon's are producing great. Some bigger fish are on dead drifted sculpin patterns. The hopper bite will turn back on when the temps go back up. Happy Fishing!

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.

Fantastic time on The Madison River. Anthony is a great guide who took the time to teach us first timers how to properly cast, set the hook.and fight the fish. Ended up each catching several species.
What a great day with our guide Anthony. My son had a memory making time and caught some big browns. Anthony was a fun person to be on the water with and took his time and we never felt like we were being rushed just a all around awesome day.
My wife and I have wanted to try fly fishing for a few years and finally booked a half day expedition. We both had a great time and learned a lot. I’d definitely recommend this to anyone who hasn’t tried yet and likes the outdoors.
We had an incredible experience on the Yellowstone with our guides Brian and Sam. We did a full day trip with two guides for the 4 of us. We caught over 30 fish … beautiful rainbow, brown and white fish. Can’t wait to do it again!
My guide, Eli, was a great teacher and had really good patience with me as prior to the trip I had experience flying fishing but not a whole lot. He showed me some better and more efficient ways such as casting and what to look for that could indicate a fish or an area where they could be found. I have no doubt that we would have caught more if the fish were biting that day. Speaking to others who were fly fishing on the river that day they weren’t having any luck, but Eli was able to find the fish and figure out what they were biting on. I had a great experience on the river and would absolutely hire Eli as my guide again.
Great day on the water with Bryan. Our first fly fishing experience and it was everything we hoped it would be. Will definitely use them again in the future!
Greg was awesome guide, made the trip fun, rowed his ass off, and was not afraid to give any tips or brush off a teaching moment. Very knowledgeable guide.
