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.

    Trip: Guided Trophy Catfishing Trips

    Only put 5 stars because I can't put more. Went on a full day excursion on July 18, 2026. George was great! He cares deeply about the experience and really worked to find us some good spots! We caught half a dozen nice size Blue Catfish with the headliners being 70lbs and 40 lbs. Communication from the time of booking to the day of was excellent. Definitely going to be booking with George for future trips!

    Trip: Full Day Float (Multiple Rivers)

    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

    Had a great trip on the Missouri River drift boat fishing with Shelly. Extreamly knowledgable & helpful for a couple of first time fly fishermen. Caught my first Rainbow off of a fly rod. Highly recommend for the beginner or veteran fisherman.

    Had a really great time fishing the Yellowstone, Upper Madison on drift boats. Caught nice browns and rainbows. Wades the Gallatin and caught nice fish on dry flies. Our guide was Matt and he was great to work with not to mention he’s a trained chef so the lunches were fantastic. Highly recommend these trips. The booking process was simple and effective thanks to Captain Experiences.
